Al-Shabaab kills 3 teachers in Kenya

At least three teachers have been confirmed dead by the police in Monday's attack by the Al-Shabab extremists in the eastern part of Kenya.

According to a police report seen by the Associated Press, the militants, from neighboring Somalia, attacked Kamuthe center in Garissa county and set fire to a police post in an attempt to destroy a telecommunication mast.

During the attack, three non-Muslim teachers were killed and one teacher was abducted while the life of a female nurse was spared due to her gender, the report added.

AfricaNews revealed that Al-Shabab has vowed retribution on Kenya for its troops being present in Somalia since 2011 to fight the militants. The group has carried out numerous attacks on Kenya, killing hundreds.

The al-Qaida-linked group attacked a military base used by Kenyan and U.S. forces, killing three Americans and destroying aircraft and other machinery earlier in January.
