Islamists seize Christian hostagel Shabaab gunmen on Thursday seized Christian hostages at a Kenya university near the border with Somalia, in an pre-dawn attack that killed at least 15 people and wounded scores more. 

A spokesman for Somalia's al-Qaida-linked Shabaab, told AFP the group was behind the early morning assault on the university in Garissa and had taken non-Muslims hostage. 

"When our men arrived, they released the Muslims. We are holding others hostage," said Shabaab spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage, without giving numbers. 

He said those seized were Christians and added that "our people are still there, they are fighting and their mission is to kill those who are against the Shabaab."
