African Law Group Tells Kenya to Stop Terror Attacks Against Christians

ICC Note:
The recent bloody massacre of 17 in twin attacks against churches in Kenya has prompted one law group to call on the Kenyan government to increase it’s protections of Christians. In one of the attacks, suspected Islamic militants tossed grenades into one of the churches and then proceeded to gun down Christians as they fled the building. According to the legal group, the Kenyan government is not taking the security threat seriously.

Terrorists from Somalia’s al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab launched a sneak attack two churches in one Kenya’s northeastern cities. About 17 people — including two police officers posted at the church as security — were reported dead and with more than 40 other worshipers left wounded. Two police are among those killed, according to the law society’s report.
East African Law Society resident scholar, James Mwamu, scolded the Kenyan government saying it appears unqualified and unable to protect Kenyans from vicious and bloodthirsty terrorists from nearby Somalia.
