(Telegraph-UK) Mike Pflanz and Aislinn Laing - At least 147 people have been killed after Islamist terrorists attacked a Kenyan university, singling out Christian students to murder. Many of those killed had their throats cut. A five-man cell of the Somali-based al-Shabaab stormed into halls of residence at Garissa University College on Thursday, shooting at students before taking others hostage. The attackers opened the doors and asked if the people inside were Muslims or Christians. "If you were a Christian, you were shot on the spot," said one student. Kenyan troops killed four terrorists and arrested one. Kenya has suffered at least three major terror attacks by Somali-based terror groups since 1998.
