Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
A group of masked terrorists have killed at least 70 people and taken hostages after attacking Garissa University in Kenya.
The Islamic extremist group Al-Shabaab claimed the assault and said they were targeting the Christians at the school.
“We sorted people out and released the Muslims,” said terrorist spokesman Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab. “There are many dead bodies of Christians inside the building. We are also holding many Christians alive. Fighting still goes on inside the college.”
Witnesses say that the terrorists had snipers on top of buildings to shoot those who were fleeing the dormitories during the attack. Soldiers reportedly ordered the students to dive for cover as they escaped the building.
The terrorists say they are also holding a number of female Christians alive as hostages.
The vice chariman of the student union told Fox News that the gunmen were asking people about their faith.
“If you were a Christian you were shot on the spot,” he said. “With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die.”
The terrorist group has targeted Kenya after that nation contributed forces to the African Union that drove Al-Shabaab from major cities in Somalia.
