NAIROBI — Kenyan police officers were among those killed when gunmen suspected to be from Islamist militant group al Shabaab attacked a bus on Friday near the border with Somalia, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s office said on Saturday. “People, among them police officers, were brutally murdered,” Kenyatta’s office said in a statement. Police said 10 people had been killed and that the attackers had specifically targeted non-Somalis after flagging down the bus. “The attackers separated local Somalis from non-locals, and in the process, shot 10 non-locals dead,” police spokesman Charles Owino said in a statement. He said security forces were pursuing the gunmen and that the driver and conductor of the bus were in custody and helping with investigations.
