At least two people have been killed
in an ambush on a passenger bus in Kenya's northeast near the border with
Somalia, an official and residents said.
The bus was believed to be carrying more
than 50 passengers when it was attacked between Kutulo and Daba village in
Mandera county early on Sunday, Mohamud Saleh, the chief administrator of
Kenya's northeastern region, said.
"The attackers tried to wave
the bus down but then sprayed it with bullets when the driver refused to
stop," Saleh told Al Jazeera.

"Two people were killed and at
least three people were injured in the attack. It is not yet clear who is
behind the assault, but I'm not ruling out that this was a case of
banditry," he added.
In November 2014, armed group al-Shabab killed
28 Kenyan non-Muslim bus passengers in Mandera county, in what
it said was revenge for Kenyan police raids on Mombasa mosques.
