President Barack Obama said the U.S. will provide any law enforcement resources needed byKenya in the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack on a shopping mall in Nairobi.
“The United States will continue to work with the entire continent of Africa and around the world to make sure we are dismantling these networks of destruction,” Obama told reporters at the start of a meeting with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan in New York, where they are attending the United Nations General Assembly.
Obama said he’s spoken with Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta. Jonathan expressed sympathy for the Kenyan people and called on the world’s leaders to “come together to fight terror.”
The annual gathering of heads of state from around the world is getting under way in New Yorkas authorities are struggling to end a two-day siege in Nairobi that left 69 people dead. A separate attack on Christian church service in Peshawar, Pakistan, killed 81 people.
The Kenya attack is the deadliest in the country since the 1998 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in downtown Nairobi that killed 213 people. Al-Shabaab, the Somali Islamist militant group, claimed responsibility for the raid.
