Islamic extremists from the Somali insurgent Al Shabaab stopped a bus in northern Kenya on 22 November, separated out the non-Muslims and killed 28 people.

A Christian on the bus to Nairobi said he was spared because he could recite some Quranic verses; he watched as the Islamic extremists ordered the 19 men and nine women identified as non-Muslims to lie on the ground and shot them in the head.

‘They said in Kiswahili, “Hard-haired men get out of the bus’’ [a reference to Kenyans presumed to be non-Muslims as opposed to ‘soft-haired’ Somalis presumed to be Muslims]. We left the dead men and women lying outside the bus, as we were commanded to leave while the attackers were watching over the dead bodies. The attackers fired into the air in jubilation after the attack’.
