Kenya police parade Shebab corpses through massacre town as militants issue new threat
Police on Saturday paraded the naked corpses of Somali Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab gunmen who slaughtered almost 150 people in one of Kenya's worst massacres, hours after the militants threatened "another bloodbath".
Five men have been arrested in connection with Thursday's attack, where the gunmen staged a one-day seige at the university in the northeastern town of Garissa.
Earlier on Saturday, the Shebab warned of a "long, gruesome war" unless Kenya withdrew its troops from Somalia.
Meanwhile, President Uhuru Kenyatta declared three days of national mourning.

Football: Chelsea survive 60m wonder goal to stretch lead
Leaders Chelsea conceded one of the great Premier League goals but still had too much for Stoke City as they consolidated top spot with a 2-1 home victory on Saturday.
Eden Hazard's 39th-minute penalty rewarded the home side for almost complete domination but they went in at halftime level after Stoke midfielder Charlie Adam equalised out of the blue with a spectacular 60m shot.
Taking possession well inside his own half, the Scotland international looked up to see Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had strayed off his line.
Even so, it initially seemed nothing more than a reckless gamble when Adam shaped to shoot, yet his incredible drive from 60m out arrowed over Courtois, who could only help the ball into the net as he back-pedalled in a futile attempt to prevent the wonder-goal.

Saturday's thumping 4-1 victory over Liverpool sent Arsenal into second place, four points behind Chelsea who have two games in hand of the surging Gunners.
With Chelsea still to face Arsenal at the Emirates, as well as Manchester United and Liverpool, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that a title dogfight could develop in the closing weeks of the season.
