NAIROBI (Reuters) - Five people have been arrested in connection with an attack on a Kenyan university that killed at least 148 people, CNN reported on Friday, citing Kenyan Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery.

Masked Al-Shabaab gunmen strapped with explosives stormed the Garissa University College campus, some 200km from the Somali border, in a pre-dawn rampage on Thursday.

CNN gave no further details on the arrests.
