NAIROBI, Apr 16 : All four gunmen from Somalia's Al-Qaeda linked Shabab who carried out the Kenyan university massacre earlier this month were Kenyans themselves, reports said on Thursday.
The militants attacked the university in the northeastern town of Garissa on April 2, lining up non-Muslim students for execution and killing 148 people in what President Uhuru Kenyatta described as a "barbaric medieval slaughter".
One of the four gunmen killed by Kenyan special forces who ended the day-long siege has already been named as Abdirahim Abdullahi, an ethnic Somali Kenyan national who was top student and law graduate.
But Kenya's major Daily Nation newspaper, quoting unnamed intelligence reports, said the other three gunmen killed were also Kenyan, believed to be from the port city of Mombasa and the far western district of Bungoma.     ?AFP
