Suspected Al-Shabaab militants have killed five quarry workers and injured two others in an attack on a minibus in northeastern Kenya.
The attack occurred near the village of Bur Abor in Mandera County, close to the Somali border.
According to a Kenyan police report, around 10 gunmen ambushed the vehicle and ordered the workers out before fatally shooting them.
Thirteen other workers escaped into the bush and were later rescued.
Al-Shabaab, a Somali-based Islamist group linked to Al-Qaeda, has been known to conduct cross-border raids into Kenya.
The group has been waging an insurgency against the Somali government since 2007, seeking to seize power and establish rule based on its own interpretation of Islamic law.
