Al-Shabaab militants attack kills 6 Christians in Kenya

Police chief Joseph Boinnet told AFP that there were 33 people inside the compound when the attack took place. The others escaped unharmed.

Several attacks in the region have seen al-Shabaab militants target Christians. In November 2014 gunmen flagged down a commuter bus, separated passengers by religion and executed 28 non-Muslims. And in a deadly attack that killed 148 people at Garissa University in northeastern Kenya in 2015, the gunmen lined up non-Muslim students for execution.
