Government official's son one of the gunmen in Kenyan university attack

The son of a Kenyan government official has been identified as one of the gunmen who took part in an Islamic extremist attack on a university that killed 148 people.

Interior Ministry spokesman Mwenda Njoka said the gunman was identified as Kenyan Abdirahim Mohammed Abdullahi. He said Abdullahi’s father, a chief in Mandera County, had reported his son missing last year and said he feared that he had gone to Somalia.
