(Reuters) - The death toll in an assault by Somali militants on a Kenyan
university is likely to climb above 147, a government source and media
said on Friday, with local residents furious over the government's failure
to prevent the bloodshed.
.
Strapped with explosives, masked al Shabaab gunmen stormed the Garissa
University College campus, some 200 km (120 miles) from the Somali border,
in a pre-dawn rampage on Thursday.
.
Tossing grenades and spraying bullets at cowering students, the attackers
initially killed indiscriminately. But they later freed some Muslims and
instead targeted Christian students during a siege that lasted about 15
hours.
.
Anger over the massacre was compounded by the fact there were warnings
last week that an attack on a university was imminent. Local residents
accused the authorities of doing little to boost security in this little
developed region.
.
"It's because of laxity by the government that these things are happening.
For something like this to happen when there are those rumors is
unacceptable," said Mohamed Salat, 47, a Somali Kenyan businessman.
.
Officials said almost 150 people died, with at least 79 wounded, many
critically. But with an uncertain number of students and staff still
missing, the casualties may yet mount.

The violence will heap further pressure on President Uhuru Kenyatta, who
has struggled to stop frequent militant gun and grenade attacks that have
dented Kenya's image abroad and brought the country's vital tourism
industry to its knees.
.
More than 400 people have been killed by the al Qaeda-allied al Shabaab in
the east African nation since Kenyatta took office in April 2013,
including some 67 people who died in a blitz on a shopping mall in the
capital Nairobi in September of that year.
.
"MOST WANTED" BOUNTY
Within hours of the attack, Kenya put up a 20 million shillings ($215,000)
reward for the arrest of Mohamed Mohamud, a former Garissa teacher labeled
"Most Wanted" in a government poster and linked by Kenyan media to two
separate al Shabaab attacks in the neighboring Mandera region last year.

Analysts and diplomats say Kenya's security services remain disjointed and
questions have been raised by Kenyan media about how four gunmen were able
to hold off hundreds of security personnel, including soldiers and elite
police units.
.
One Western diplomat said Kenya, a staunch Western ally in the fight
against radical Islam, continues to receive help from Western intelligence
agencies but struggles to act on it.
