Kenyans remember Garissa victims
NAIROBI, 3 Apr - (ANA) - People across Kenya have marked the first anniversary of the massacre of 148 people at Garissa University. Thousands gathered at the college on Saturday, with about 100 taking part in a run to commemorate the victims. Later, prayers and candlelight vigils were held in Garissa, in the capital Nairobi and elsewhere, led by government officials. Four al-Shabab militants shot students in their dormitories before rounding up and killing dozens more. It was the deadliest attack in Kenya since al-Qaeda's bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi in 1998, which killed 213 people. Al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab, which is based in neighbouring Somalia, has carried out a number of attacks against Kenyan targets.(ANA)
