Open Fire at Mosque by: Rachel Devine

        A few days ago, seven people were found dead in an attack on a mosque in a village in north-eastern Kenya, near the border with Somalia. 10 gunmen started shooting as people were leaving the mosque after the early morning prayers. Five men were killed, and two women who attemped to scream and warn the others of the gunmen. It was reported that the region has been prone to attacks blamed on al-Qaeda-aligned Islamist militants. The region is mourning for those who died and pray that the violence will subside.

       Reading this article makes me sad that this type of thing is common over there. Those gunmen are horrible people and it is awful that there are people like that in our world. My prayers go out to those affected.

  2. That is really terrible and the fact that its normal for them is very sad. I hope that the families affected by this are okay.
