Gunmen kill 28 non-Muslim bus passengers in north-east Kenya attack; police blame Al Shabaab group

Source: AFP/The ABC

Gunmen have seized a bus in north-eastern Kenya near the Somali border and executed 28 non-Muslim passengers, police say, blaming the attack on Al Shabaab extremists.

"I can confirm ... that 28 innocent travellers were brutally executed by the Shebab," regional police chief Noah Mwavinda said, referring to the Somali militant group.

He said the gunmen forced the bus to stop and drove it to the side of the road, where they proceeded to kill passengers identified as non-Muslim.

Sixty people were on the bus, which was heading toward Nairobi, the ministry of the interior said in a tweet.

I like the Seneca quote.

As soon as a religion (anyone of them) trues to impose their thoughts on others they inevitably resort to violence to coerce others.

When the Enlightenment came into being is when we started to escape the religion trap. One can only hope they are all gone by 2100...
