One of Garissa attackers 'identified as Kenyan law graduate'

Source: AFP

Authorities in Kenya said Sunday they have identified one of the four dead Shebab gunmen who massacred nearly 150 people at Garissa University as an ethnic-Somali Kenyan national and law graduate.

Interior ministry spokesman Mwenda Njoka named one of the attackers as Abdirahim Abdullahi, saying he was "a university of Nairobi law graduate and described by a person who knows him well as a brilliant upcoming lawyer."

The spokesman said Abdullahi's father, a local official in the northeastern county of Mandera, had "reported to the authorities that his son had gone missing and suspected the boy had gone to Somalia".

Describing Abdullahi as a high-flying A-grade student, Njoka said it was "critical that parents whose children go missing or show tendencies of having been exposed to violent extremism report to authorities."

"a university of Nairobi law graduate and described by a person who knows him well as a brilliant upcoming lawyer."

Has to be a LIE...Only poor uneducated people go on suicide missions. Because what could possibly influence an educated person with a bright future & career ahead of them to throw it all away?

So confusing?!?!

Or at least, a big possible sign, that the person might have gone nuts.
