In another incident, Somali Al shabaab millitia have attacked a quarry in mandera, separeted muslims from non-muslims and shooting the non-muslims at short range leaving 36 people dead.
A witness says that some of them had been beheaded.
Gunmen crept up on dozens of workers as they slept in tents around the quarry at about 1 a.m. (5 p.m. EST), a village elder at Korome, near the site of the attack close to the Somali border says.
The militia separated the Muslims, then ordered the non-Muslims to lie down where they shot them on the head at close range," Hassan Duba said.
A witness said most victims were shot in the head and at least two were beheaded. He counted 36 bodies at the quarry, about 15 km (10 miles) from the town of Mandera.
Kenya's government confirmed 36 people were killed and cited survivors saying about 20 attackers were involved. One person died in another attack on the northern town of Wajir late on Monday, it added.
