(CNN)—Their M.O. is a tried and terrifying one: Launch a raid, single out Christians, and then spray them with bullets.

But when Al-Shabaab militants ambushed a bus Monday, things didn't go according to plan.

The Muslim passengers, who were mostly women, told the Islamic militants to kill them all or leave them alone, witnesses said.
