Al-Shabaab does this in order to strike terror in the enemies of Allah, which is meant to lead to their submission to the Muslims and Sharia.
“Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (8:60)
“Mandera Bus Attack Leaves Five Dead and Scores Injured,” International Christian Concern, March 24, 2021:
03/24/2021 Washington, D.C. (International Christian Concern) – International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that at least five passengers died and dozens severely injured on Wednesday morning, March 24, after a bus they were traveling in ran over a roadside improvised bomb on Lafey-Mandera road near the Kenya-Somali border in Mandera County.
The public service vehicle was traveling to Mandera town when the incident occurred near Arabia town. The North Eastern Police Commander suggested that the attackers had crossed the border a day ago targeting police camps in Lafey and non-local education officers who are facilitating national exams in the region.
Speaking to the ICC from Mandera, a local church leader confirmed that the injured passengers were at the Mandera General Hospital with six people in critical condition. He added, “The security situation in Mandera hasn’t improved, although we have not witnessed many attacks since the beginning of the year. We always live in fear especially when we get information that the Somali-based al-Shabaab members have been spotted. We continue to urge our brothers and sisters to remain vigilant and avoid traveling through high-risk roads.”
While on the floor of the Senate on Wednesday afternoon, Mandera Senator, Mr. Mohamed M. Mahamud, condemned the early morning attack calling it “A serious terror attack” and asked the government “to upscale security and make sure this matter is dealt with accordingly. We also urge our people to cooperate with security agencies and not to relent in reporting any suspicion.”
Today’s bus attack comes two months after another passenger bus in Wajir, northeastern Kenya, where a group of armed Al-Shabaab militants robbed travelers and the bus conductor after failing to find Christians in the bus. Over the last few years, Al-Shabaab has been targeting Christians and security personnel in the Northeastern region of Kenya that lies near the border with Somalia….

Kenya: Muslims murder five people, injure dozens as bus drives over roadside IED
………………
Horrible–these poor people. The JIhad in Africa continues.
Walter Sieruk says
With this horrible news report from Kenya about those bloodthirsty murderous, and destructive Muslims who are violent jihadists.. .
They are so very awful and deadly that it’s very difficult remember that , in may ways, they are similar to the villains described in the Bible .Which reads “Their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in the ways : and the way of peace they have not known.”
Romans 3:15-17. [[K.J.V.]

Clearly, Mr. Mohamed M. Mohamud is not practicing authentic Islam.
