肯尼亚悼念大学血案丧生者

Kenyans dedicated Easter services to the 148 victims of Thursday's massacre by al-Shabab militants at a university.

Ceremonies were held across Kenya Sunday in memory of those killed at Garissa University College.

Meanwhile, Kenya's security chief defended the response by special forces to the attacks.

The French News Agency reports that it took at least seven hours for special forces to arrive at the scene of the massacre after flying from the capital, Nairobi, hours after other security personnel fought with the militants. Some journalists who drove the same 365-kilometer distance are reported to have arrived before the special forces. Several

Kenyan newspapers on Sunday were strongly critical of the government's response.

On Saturday, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta called for unity after the massacre by al-Shabab, which targeted mostly Christians.
