KENYA ATTACK – AT 8:28 A.M. ET:  This is still breaking.  We don't know full details.  From Fox: 

Al-Shabaab reportedly claimed responsibility for an attack at Garissa University in eastern Kenya Thursday that left at least 15 people dead, dozens more injured and hundreds of students unaccounted for.

The National Disaster Operations Center said on Twitter that three of four dorms at the university have been evacuated, with the gunmen cornered in one dorm. No further details were immediately available and Kenya Defense Forces have surrounded the area, journalists said, impeding their access.

A spokesman for the terror group told the BBC that it attacked the school because “it’s on Muslim land colonized by non-Muslims.”

The spokesman also said the gunmen had separated non-Muslims from Muslims and had freed 15 of the latter group.

Kenyan Cabinet Interior Secretary C.S. Nkaissery said in a statement that "280 of the 815 students have been accounted for," but 535 are missing.

The students at Garissa are predominantly non-Muslim, a source told Fox News.

The attack occurred at 5:30 a.m. local time (10:30 p.m. Wednesday E.T.) during morning prayers at the university mosque, according to Augustine Algana, a student at the school who survived the attack and spoke to the Associated Press.

Algana said gunfire rang throughout campus while students were still sleeping.

Terrified students sprinted out of buildings as police officers arrived on the scene. The gunmen had opened fire at guards triggering a “fierce shootout” with police guarding student dorms, Kenya’s National Police said in a statement.

COMMENT:  Have you noticed that we're now seeing frequent Islamic terrorist attacks?  The tempo seems to have picked up.

Kenya was the home of Barack Obama's father.  It was said that, during Obama's brief time in the Senate, he showed a particular interest in the country.  He's scheduled to visit Kenya in the near future for the first time as president.

No, the war on terror isn't over.  It is just beginning.  Africa.  The Mideast.  Europe, as in the recent Paris attacks.  And, inevitably, the United States.
