A head teacher from a local primary school led the al Shabaab militants in the bus attack that killed 11 passengers in Wajir, police have said. The revelations lend credence to reports there might have been passengers in the bus who collaborated with the militants. The teacher led a team of over 15 militants during the attack which has raised questions on the security of officers working in terror-prone areas. Intelligence reports indicate that some of the militants had sneaked into the country in late November and were harboured by the head teacher. Dozens of non-local quarry workers and teachers have been killed by al Shabaab in the past.
