Al-Shabaab terrorist attack kills 8 in northeastern Kenya

Police in Kenya say suspected al-Shabab terrorists have stopped a bus in the north near Somalia and killed eight passengers.

The Somalia-based al-Shabab has claimed responsibility. The al-Qaida-linked terrorist group has vowed retribution on Kenya for sending troops to Somalia to fight it.

In one of the worst attacks inside Kenya, al-Shabab in 2014 hijacked a bus traveling through Mandera County and killed 28 on board.
