According to a Kenya website Trending Newsroom, At least 36 quarry Kenyan workers were Tuesday killed by suspected Al-Shabaab militants in an attack in Koromei area, Mandera County.
The workers were ambushed at the site as they slept by gunmen believed to be the militants, then opened fire and killed more than 36 of the workers.
Others were decapitated by the attackers. Other reports says the attackers kidnapped some of the workers.
All the victims are non-Muslims. Those who were Muslims were separated from Christians. Police confirmed the deaths and added they were yet to know the motive.
The attack came hours after another group launched an attack on a club in Wajir that left one person dead and 13 wounded.
Police boss David Kimaiyo confirmed the attack and said the attackers escaped. Last week, 28 people, mostly teachers were shot dead after the militants hijacked their bus in Mandera County.
No one has so far claimed responsibility for either of the attacks Monday night.
