Al-Shabaab terrorists promise another bloodbath in Kenya.....

The al-Shabab militant group that claimed responsibility for killing 148 people on a Kenyan university campus Thursday has promised "another bloodbath."

"No amount of precaution or safety measures will be able to guarantee your safety, thwart another attack or prevent another bloodbath from occurring in you cities," the group said in a statement released Saturday.

Continuing its extreme rhetoric, the statement warned Kenya's cities will "run red with blood."

Garissa University College lies in eastern Kenya.

Late Friday, Kenyan Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery said at least three suspects have been arrested in connection with the attack at Garissa University College. The college is in Garissa, an eastern Kenya town almost 150 kilometers, or 90 miles, west of the Somalia border.

"There were quite a number of arrests that have been done today," Nkaissery said. "... As you know, in the operation things will continue to develop."

The four gunmen perpetrating the attack were killed at the scene.

Another survivor emerges

The Kenya Red Cross reported finding a female survivor of the massacre on Saturday at the college. Cynthia Charotich, 19, told The Associated Press she'd remained hidden in a closet crawl space for two days, fearing attackers might still be lurking.

"I was just praying to my God," said Charotich, a Christian.

Identifying victims

Meanwhile, authorities have begun moving the student victims' bodies to Nairobi for identification.

Families gathered in the capital city Friday, forming lines outside of a mortuary as they waited for news of the missing.

The al-Shabab attackers stormed the university campus before dawn Thursday and began shooting indiscriminately. Witnesses say the gunmen later targeted Christians and freed some Muslims.

Kenyan security forces battled the militants for 15 hours and rescued more than 500 students before fatally shooting the attackers.

A Kenyan member of parliament, Mohamed Dahiye Duale, told VOA's Somali service that at least 143 of those killed were students. He said there is strong information that the attackers came from refugee camps in Kenya.

U.S. President Barack Obama expressed "horror and sadness" over the attack. The White House said he called Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta Friday to express his condolences. It said he also reiterated his plans to visit Nairobi in July.

Reward offered

The Kenyan government is offering a $220,000 reward for an al-Shabab member thought to be behind the attacks. Mohammed Mohamud Kuno is already on a government watch list. He is suspected to be al-Shabab's chief for external operations against Kenya.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, calling for vigilance in his nation, ordered 10,000 police recruits whose enrollments are still pending to immediately report for training at the police college.

Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has called for greater security cooperation with Kenya, offering his condolences and calling the attack "barbaric." He said Friday that the killings show the need to eliminate the "menace" of al-Shabab.

Thursday's attack is the deadliest in Kenya since al-Qaida's 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy, which killed more than 200 people. Al-Shabab also claimed responsibility for the massacre on Nairobi's Westgate Mall in 2013 that killed more than 60 people.

The extremist group said Thursday's attack was revenge for Kenyan military action inside neighboring Somalia, where the Islamist militant group is based.

Al-Shabab is an al-Qaida-linked group that has battled the Somali government and its allies since 2006. The group has attacked targets in Kenya since Nairobi sent troops across the border in 2011.
