Security shake up after extremist attacks in Kenya
In northern Kenya 36 non-Muslim workers were killed by Islamic extremists near Mandela County, prompting President Uhuru Kenyatta to dismiss the interior minister and accept the resignation of the national police chief. Al Shabaab claimed the quarry attack as part of cross border terrorism linked to Kenya’s military actions in Somalia. The president urged resolve in the war on terror.
