Al Shabab Warns of More Attacks in Kenya

Somalia's Islamic extremist group al-Shabab on Saturday warned of more attacks in Kenya like the assault on Garissa University College in which 148 people were killed.

"Kenyan cities will run red with blood," said al-Shabab according to the SITE intelligence monitoring group.

The Islamic militants said the attack on Garissa college was in retaliation for killings carried out by Kenyan troops fighting the rebels in Somalia.

"This will be a long, gruesome war of which you, the Kenyan public, are its first casualties," said the statement, issued on Shabab-affiliated websites and Twitter accounts

"No amount of precaution or safety measures will be able to guarantee your safety, thwart another attack or prevent another bloodbath," said the al-Shabab statement.

Five people have been arrested on suspicion of involvement in the Garissa attack, a Kenyan official said.
