肯尼亞悼念大學血案喪生者

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.肯尼亞民衆在基督教復活節期間悼念索馬里青年黨激進分子星期四在加里薩大學學院殺死的148名遇難者，星期天在全國各地舉行了悼念活動。

與此同時，肯尼亞保安部隊負責人爲襲擊事件中特種部隊的表現辯護。

法新社報道，事件發生後至少7個小時後，特種部隊才從首都內羅畢乘飛機抵達屠殺現場，而其他保安部隊已經與激進分子交火了數小時。

還有消息說，一些駕車365公里趕到現場的記者也比特種部隊先到。幾家肯尼亞報紙星期天對政府的反應提出強烈批評。
