Kenyan Soldiers go Berserk After 3 of Their Number Killed

Smoke from Garissa's market

Reports out of Garissa, Kenya say that government troops went on beating spree after three of their number were gunned down, on Monday.

The three Kenyan soldiers were fixing a truck when gunmen shot them.

Before they could be caught, the gunmen fled into the crowd, which then tried to block pursuing soldiers from chasing them.

It was then that the soldiers went berserk, tearing through the crowds, hitting anyone who was present and not wearing a uniform.

The main market of Garissa was set on fire before the troops could be calmed down.

Kenya is blaming the attack on Al Shabaab terrorists, in continued violence from the group against Kenyans.
