The
Somali-based al-Shabab Islamist group says it carried out the overnight
attack in Kenya's north-eastern Mandera county that killed at least 14
people who are believed to have been workers from a local quarry.
This latest incident is likely to put the spotlight on the Kenyan authorities again over their handling of the security situation.
Just two weeks ago the government lifted a night-time curfew in the area after Muslim clerics said it impeded prayers during the month of Ramadan.
Al-Shabab militants had threatened to attack non-Muslims during this period.
