Mandera attacked again

I heard on the BBC World Service last night that there has been another al-Shabab attack on Mandera, which was attacked before in November, 2014.

See  http://luolaughter.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/kenyan-security.html 

Todays BBC Africa news has a brief report (any other news being eclipsed by the expansion of Heathrow Airport news):-


"At least 12 people have been killed in an attack in Kenya claimed by Somalia-based militant Islamist group al-Shabab.

The target was a guesthouse hosting members of a theatre group who were performing plays in schools in the north-eastern town of Mandera. 

There has been a spate of deadly attacks targeting Christians in the mainly Muslim region around Mandera.


Reports say that the 10-member theatre group was composed of university students who had travelled to the town to perform plays in local schools.

Two members of the little known theatre travelling group, Pearls Quality Edutainment, were killed."


 There is really nothing to say about senseless killings like this .....
