Kenya

A group of Kenyan Muslims traveling on a bus ambushed by Islamist gunmen protected Christian passengers, by refusing to be split into groups.

They told the militants "to kill them together or leave them alone", a local governor told Kenyan media. 

At least two people were killed in the attack, near the north-eastern village of El Wak on the Somali border.

The Somali based al-Shabab group is the main suspect for the attack. 

It has not said if it was responsible, but often carries out attacks in Kenya's north-east. 

The bus was travelling from the capital Nairobi to the town of Mandera.
