The Kenyan Government has today released the name of the man behind Garissa University College siege where over 70 students have already been killed and 79 injured in an ongoing siege at the university. According to Interior Coordination Cabinet Secretary, Joseph Nkaissery, the man behind the Garissa University terror attack is Mohamed Kuno, a former teacher at a Madrassa in the area and is the leader of a local Al Shabaab cell in Kenya.
The Government also placed a Sh 20 million bounty on the terrorist who is also behind the Lamu and Mpeketoni massacres. Unconfirmed military sources have indicated that more than 200 students of Garissa University are still being held hostage by over 13 gunmen and the death toll could rise even as the Kenya Special forces tries to rescue them.
Meanwhile, the US Government has strongly condemned Al Shabaab’s terror attack today at Garissa University College, which has resulted in the deaths and injuries of many Kenyans. In a statement to the press, US Ambassador to Kenya, Robert Godec, said the US Government remains a committed friend of Kenya and will stand shoulder to shoulder with the Government and the people of Kenya in their effort to end the scourge of terrorism.
