"Five people have been arrested, they are in custody and under interrogation," interior ministry spokesman Mwenda Njoka told AFP, noting that the four gunmen in the university were killed on Thursday at the end of the day-long siege.
"Three were the coordinators who were arrested while trying to flee to Somalia, two were arrested within the precincts of Garissa University." The day-long siege of Garissa University was Kenya's deadliest attack since the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi, and the bloodiest ever by the Al-Qaeda-affiliated militants.
