Girl Found Alive 2 Days After Kenya College Massacre

A teenage survivor was found alive at the scene of the Kenya college massacre Saturday, two days after Islamist extremists killed 148 people, according to the Red Cross, NBC News reported. Cynthia Charotich, 19, hid in a crawl space above a closet and refused to emerge even when some of her classmates came out of hiding, fearing the attackers were still on the scene, she told The Associated Press. She became so hungry and thirsty during her ordeal that she drank a lotion. "I was just praying to my God," Charotich, a Christian, said of her ordeal at Garissa University College. The Al-Shabab extremists responsible for the massacre warned of more attacks in Kenya, reportedly issued a statement saying the recent attack was in retaliation for killings carried out by Kenyan troops fighting the rebels in Somalia.
