There is confusion as to whether the siege and rescue operation by Kenyan security units is over or whether hostages are still being held.
Hundreds of students are still unaccounted for and the death toll is expected to rise.
The university has a mixed population of Christian and Muslim students. Christians were reportedly targeted for immediate execution or taken as hostages. Muslims were released.
Collins Wetangula, the vice chairman of the student union, said he was preparing to take a shower when he heard gunshots.
When the gunmen arrived at his dorm he could hear them opening doors and asking if the people who had hidden inside whether they were Muslims or Christians. "If you were a Christian, you were shot on the spot," Wetangula told the associated Press. "With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die."Students thought posted warnings of a possible attack were an April Fool's prank.

Sort of goes against Muhammad's teachings, doesn't it. You know, the part about Christians and Jews were not to be harmed because we were all "brothers of the book."
ReplyDeleteOf course, Muhammad said that long before the Koran was written, so it is a question of just what book he was speaking of, isn't it?
Interesting . . . apostate Muslims.
