Somali militants early today killed 36 non-Muslim quarry workers near the north Kenyan town of Mandera.
The attackers from the al-Shabab group shot the non-Muslims dead after separating them from Muslims.
Reports say the victims were attacked after midnight when they were sleeping in their tents at the quarry in Kormey, 15 kilometres from Mandera town.
A driver who visited the scene of the attack, Ali Sheikh Yusuf, said most of the victims appeared to have been lined-up and shot in the head at close range.
He said four were beheaded inside their tents, while three appeared to have escaped to Mandera town.
