ICC Note: Kenyan Muslims have protected Christians during an al-Shabaab attack on a bus in the Mandera region near the Somali border. Extremist Muslim militants attacked the bus and insisted that Christians and Muslims separate into small groups. This was the tactic that the terrorists used during the April 2 massacre of 148 people at Garissa University College where mostly Christians died.
