almost completely captured by isis. the estimate is they control 90% of the camp. there are 18,000 palestinians refugees including 3,000 children, who have been living there in dire circumstances due to the ongoing conflict in syria. the u.n. says the hour has never been more dire for these people. the running gun battles across the neighborhoods are there is no food water, medicine. no ability to get aid in. the u.n. calling for a halt to the fighting. there s no indication that isis is listening to anybody. that s true. let s turn to the deadly terror attack in kenya. we are learning about the hunt for the mastermind behind that attack at the university killing about 147 students mostly christians. reporter: indeed. the kenyan government putting a $250,000 reward on the head of a
attack it quillwill be on them. this is the only way even unsophisticated people can kill people. we saw what happened in kenya where people with not a lot of money can carrying out deadly terrorist attacks. there was a shocking news coming out of britain. a 14-year-old and 16-year-old picked up for suspected terror activities. reporter: right. and the british authorities have not said exactly what those activities were going to be. but they said they picked them up over the weekend. this is in man chest erchester, which has been the scene of isis young people trying to travel overseas to join isis. this has been the center of recruitment in britain, which reports up to 2,000 people who have tried to travel to syria and iraq to join with the terrorist groups. stand by. i want to bring in our panel.
truly a civil war where there s no good guys on either side. i think isis is much worse, of course but the shia militias and even the iraqi army is not up to snuff at this point. so taking mosul, whether it happens in the fall or not, we have to wait and see but it will be a very very messy battle. and speaking of bad guys al shabab tom fuentes, we know what happened at that university in kenya, nearly 150 students had been separated, muslims, christians they took the christians slaughtered the christians and they now say, they are saying this is just the beginning, kenyan cities they say, will run red with blood. are they really capable of doing this inside kenya? absolutely. only takes a couple guys. they just did this with four people and killed 150 students at that university. i mean here in our country, virginia tech one guy with two pistols kills 32 people. doesn t take much to go in and create a slaughter. what are you hearing about what s going on in kenya right now? beca
about this a number of times about the need to recognize really what is the true motive behind these groups like isis and like al shabab like aqap as we just spoke about. it s not about people who are alienated. it s not about people who are living in poverty. it s about people who are being recruited and attracted by this pseudo religious ideology that they are motivated by as they conduct killings like we saw in kenya. when you look at it what they did there at that university separating muslims from christians and then slaughtering people simply because they are christians really say clear example of what this is really all about, what their motivation really is. we look at easter. we look at to look god, love your neighborhood. look at hinduism religions
desperate as it is now. it is a place that has been besieged for two years, where 18,000 people have been surviving on very minimal assistance for a long time and now with the fighting intensifying, their lives are in immediate danger. reporter: more than 3,000 children are here. u.s. officials tell cnn they are monitoring unconfirmed reports of mass killings in the camp. there are reports of kidnappings and beheadings. increasingly it is civilians bearing the brunt of terrorist onslaughts. in kenya, the horror at garissa university still visible. cnn was given access to the grounds where al shabab gunmen killed more than 147 people. kenyan authorities say this man, mohamed mohamud, master minded it all. he s a regional commander in al shabab al qaeda s east africa
