ICC Note: Last week Al-Shabaab carried out new attacks targeting Christians as part of their jihad. One of their objectives is to eradicate Christianity from the place they call home. Consequently, they brutally harass, threaten and murder Christians without mercy, while no one holds them accountable for their crimes.

2/20/2018 Kenya (The Morning Star) – Suspected members of Islamic extremist group Al Shabaab shot three Christians to death in northeastern Kenya at 1 a.m. on Friday (Feb. 16), sources said.

Targeting Kenyans who came from other areas to work in predominantly Somali Wajir, some 100 miles from the Somali border, the suspected terrorists from the Somali rebel group entered the sleeping quarters of personnel at Qarsa Primary School and killed two Christian teachers and the wife of one of them, sources told Morning Star News.

After killing Seth Oluoch Odada, his wife Caroline and teacher Kevin Shari, one of the assailants said in the Somali language, “These infidels [non-Muslims] should be wiped out,” a teacher who survived the attack told a worker at Wajir Referral Hospital, the worker told Morning Star News.
