Islamist
gunmen burst into the university before dawn Thursday, shooting students and
taking hostages during early morning prayer services.
At one
point, the attackers cornered a building in which 360 students live, but some
of the students escaped, Nkaissery said.
Kenyan
forces cleared three of four dormitories and had cornered the militants in the
last one, the Interior Ministry explained.
On
Sunday 11th March 2012, Prophet T.B. Joshua of SCOAN warned the nation
of Kenya that students would soon be targetted for an attack.

Witness: Gunmen shot non-Muslims
Joel Ayora, who was on the campus and witnessed the attack, said
gunmen burst into a Christian service. Taking hostages from the service, they
then "proceeded to the hostels, shooting anybody they came across except
their fellows, the Muslims."
The attackers separated students by religion, allowing Muslims to
leave and keeping an unknown number of Christians hostage, Agence France-Presse
reported.
"We were sleeping when we heard a loud explosion that was
followed by gunshots and everyone started running for safety," student
Japhet Mwala told AFP.
"There are those who were not able to leave the hostels where the
gunmen headed and started firing. I am lucky to be alive because I jumped
through the fence with other students."
