17 killed in Garissa terror attacks

Cowardly and mindless... Two words that sum up the events in Garissa on Sunday morning where Christians in prayer inside two churches were attacked with explosives and gunfire by terrorists. More than 14 people lost their lives and over 60 injured.
US President Barack Obama condemed the fatal attacks on innocent people. In a statement released by the White House press secretary on Monday, the US called for speedy justice on the perpetrators of the recent spate of terror attacks along Kenya's coastal and the North East regions.

"The perpetrators of these attacks have shown no respect for human life and dignity, and must be brought to justice for these heinous acts," the statement from White House said.

The attacks on two churches in Garissa follow shortly after the killing of one aid worker and the kidnapping of four others in Dadaab refugee camp this week, as well as an attack on a nightclub in Mombasa last weekend.

This is terrible. Bring back Kenyan troops from Somalia. Why is Raila and Kibaki silent about the attacks or they are waiting for Obama to speak before they can comment? Why is the Police sleeping when guns are selling at Laini Saba????? Wake up, get armed and clear the militia, we have to!!!!
