Yet General Robert Abrams, head of the US Army Forces Command, eventually referred Bergdahl’s case to a general court-marital. Bergdahl deferred entering a plea until his next court date on January 12th.
At least two people were killed in the attack, near the north-eastern village of El Wak on the Somali border.
This is not the first attack that Al-Shabaab did to Kenya. A year ago, al-Shabab attacked a bus near Mandera, killing 28 Christians who were travelling to Nairobi for the Christmas holidays. But several Muslim passengers quickly gave Christians headscarves to wear to disguise them as Muslims.
Immediately the Muslim women offered the Christian women their hijabs.
But a Christian man who tried to run away and captured was shot dead, while the truck driver, which was trailing the bus, was also killed, Teno said. “But when they asked the 62 Muslim passengers to help identify the Christian passengers, the Muslims refused and told the militants to kill everyone or leave”, the online source said.
In a courageous act of defying terror, a group of Kenyan Muslims protected Christians from an attack, saying they were ready to die together, according to witnesses.
“As the attackers started separating passengers according to their religions, we heard the sound of an oncoming lorry”, Adan added.
