MOMBASA, Kenya — Islamist militants sprayed a bus with bullets on Monday, but a passenger said he and fellow Muslims defied demands from the attackers to help identify Christians traveling with them.

Two people were killed in the attack which took place in Mandera, in northeast Kenya.

Abdi Mohamud Abdi, a Muslim who was among the passengers, told Reuters that more than 10 militants with Somalia-based al Shabab boarded the bus and ordered the Muslim passengers to split away from the Christians, but they refused.

"We even gave some non-Muslims our religious attire to wear in the bus so that they would not be identified easily," Abdi said. "We stuck together tightly."

He added: "The militants threatened to shoot us but we still refused and protected our brothers and sisters. Finally they gave up and left but warned that they would be back." ....
