Gunmen killed at least seven people as they made their way to pray at a mosque in the remote Kenyan town of Malele close to the Somali border, a local government official said yesterday.
Kenya has been hit by grenade and bomb attacks since its troops crossed into Somalia in October 2011 and has blamed al Qaeda-linked Somali militants and their sympathisers.
Malele is close to the world's largest refugee camp, Dadaab, which holds nearly half a million people, most of them Somalis who have fled more than two decades of war and famine.
