Somali Militants Attack Kenyan Town

O’Brien smiled again. "She betrayed you, Winston. Immediately----unreservedly. I have seldom seen anyone come over to us so promptly. You would hardly recognize her if you saw her.

NAIROBI, Kenya----Gunmen attacked a town in a popular local tourist region along Kenya's Indian Ocean coast, killing an estimated 48 people, officials said Monday.

"You tortured her?"

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which occurred late Sunday in a region with a long history of tribal conflict.

O’Brien left this unanswered. "Next question," he said.

But Kenyan authorities immediately blamed al-Shabaab, a Somali militant group that is allied with al Qaeda and has claimed responsibility for scores of attacks in Kenya, including last year's four-day assault on a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
