Al-Shabaab Carries Out Another Deadly Attack, 15 Dead 

Somali-based  militant group, Al-Shabaab, has carried out a deadly attack on a Kenyan university killing at least 15 people. 

The attack according to CNN, occurred early on Thursday, April 2, when several gunmen stormed the Garissa University College firing indiscriminately and taking hostages.

According to security and interior ministry officials at least 15 people have been killed and 550 people are unaccounted for at the campus that had about 815 students.

Officials said one terrorist was arrested when he tried to slip through the security cordon and flee the scene. Al-Shabaab has already claimed responsibility for the attack.

The dangerously porous border between Somalia and Kenya has made it easy for Al-Shabaab militants to cross over and carry out attacks.

The deadliest assault by Al-Shabaab in Kenya was in September 2013, when the group attacked the Westgate shopping center in Nairobi, killing 67 people.
