Gunmen kill five in north-east Kenya
Gunmen sprayed bullets at New Year revellers in two bars in north-eastern Kenya on Sunday, killing five people, a witness and police said, the latest in a wave of attacks near the border with Somalia.
Kenyan security forces suspect al-Shabaab Islamist rebels, who are fighting the Western-backed government in Somalia, are also behind a string of deadly strikes in the border region.
A worker at one of the bars in the town of Garissa said gunmen approached in a vehicle, opened fire and then drove away.
"The guys fired from the vehicle. They first shot the guard, [and then] shot more bullets at those who tried to leave and those who were at the entrance," said the witness who declined to be named.
