ICC Note: Garissa University College reopened Monday for teaching, more than nine months after a deadly terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 148 people. During the assault, al-Shabaab terrorist militants separated Christians and Muslim, murdering Christians and letting Muslims go free. The following BBC report includes details about students who decided to return there to school, and some who did not.

1/11/16 Garissa, Kenya (BBC) – Teaching has resumed at the Kenyan university where 148 students died in a gun attack last April but only a few students have turned up for its reopening.

Security has been tightened at Garissa University College nine months after the attack by militant Islamist group al-Shabab.

But it appears that many students have stayed away.

Last year’s attack was the deadliest so far by the Somali-based group in Kenya.

Staff reported to work last week to get the campus in north-east Kenya ready.
