Nairobi, Dec 7 (UNI) At least eight people, including police officers, were killed in a terrorist attack on a bus in Wajir county in northeastern Kenya on Friday, the presidential press service said.
Al Shabaab affiliated to al-Qaeda, a terrorist organisation banned in Russia, said it had carried out the attack and that it had killed 10 people including "secret security agents and government employees".
The group has targeted Kenya many times since the East African nation sent troops across the border to fight the militants in their homeland in October 2011, Sputnik reported.
Witnesses said the attackers had shot all the victims outside the bus at close range, but police and the government did not comment on those accounts.
