NAIROBI, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Gunmen killed 36 workers in an attack on a quarry in Kenya's Mandera county, which borders Somalia, said the county governor on Tuesday who drew a parallel with another recent raid by al Shabaab militants.
Some 28 people were killed in the area last month when al Shabaab militants hijacked a Nairobi-bound bus, causing widespread anger. Kenya has suffered a string of gun and grenade attacks since it sent troops into Somalia to fight al Shabaab in late 2011.
