The militants are believed to have deliberately targeted Christians, prompting security officials to patrol a church in the city as crowds gathered on Easter Sunday, the Associated Press reported.
One of the four gunmen in the attack is believed to be the son of a Kenyan government official, Reuters reported Sunday.
