A primary school headteacher who was the only survivor of the Kenya bus massacre has said he was saved because his would-be killers became confused as he lay waiting to be murdered.

A worldwide alert has been issued for the arrest of the Northern Ireland-born woman terror suspect dubbed the “White Widow”.

Kenyan security forces remain locked in a stand-off with terrorists in a Nairobi shopping centre nearly 24 hours after the gang opened fire in the building, killing at least 39 people.
