New Delhi: Masked gunmen began the assault before dawn, using grenades to blast open the gates of the university in the northeastern town of Garissa, near the border with war-torn Somalia, before attacking students as they slept.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday described the terror attack in a Kenya university as "horrific and utterly condemnable."
"Terror attack in Kenya is horrific. It is most distressing that a university campus was attacked in this manner. Utterly condemnable," PM Modi tweeted.
At least 147 Kenyan students were massacred when Somalia's Shebab Islamist group raided a university in the country's deadliest attack since the US Embassy bombings in 1998.
