 Garissa, Kenya: Al Shabab gunmen on Thursday seized Christian hostages at a Kenya university near the border with Somalia, in an predawn attack that killed at least 147 people and wounded scores more.

The gunmen attacked a university campus in eastern Kenya early Thursday, clashing with guards, forcing their way into dormitories, taking hostages and singling out non-Muslims, authorities said.

Kenya's interior minister, Joseph Nkaissery, said that 147 people had been killed, including four attackers.

He contended that the deadly siege of the university had ended, with security forces carefully sweeping the campus for any remaining threats.

Kenyan security forces surrounded the campus of Garissa University College and clashed with the gunmen throughout the day, eventually cornering them in one dormitory, officials said.
