GUNMEN frogmarched nine Christians off a bus in Kenya and shot them because they refused to recite the Islamic Shahada, the statement of faith prayed by Muslims.
Members of al-Shabaab, a Somalia-based terrorist group, are believed to have been behind the attack which saw Christians passengers separated from their Muslim counterparts before being murdered. The militants pounced on a vehicle run by Medina Bus Company on December 6 as it travelled from Nairobi to the city of Mandera, close to the Somalia-Kenya border. The jihadists brought the coach to a stop near Kotulo area in Wajir County before boarding it, reports International Christian Concern.
