| (35 minutes later) | |
| Suspected members of the Somali militant group al-Shabab have killed at least 28 people in an attack on a bus in northern Kenya, officials say. | |
| After stopping the bus, attackers separated out those they thought were non-Muslim before killing them, they said. | |
| The bus was travelling to the capital, Nairobi, when it was stopped in Mandera county, near the Somali border. | |
| Somalia-based al-Shabab has carried out several attacks in Kenya since 2011. | |
| North-eastern Mandera has been particularly affected. | |
| After the attack early on Saturday, local officials quoted by Kenyan media said the government had failed to answer their pleas for extra security. | |
| One official told Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper that assailants had asked passengers to read out verses of the Koran, before executing those who failed. |
