Commonwealth Secretary-General condemns Kenya terrorist attacks

28 November 2002

Commonwealth Secretary-General Don McKinnon has condemned the terrorist attacks in Kenya today.

"I am appalled by these horrific and cowardly attacks in Kikambala and Mombasa which targeted innocent civilians. On behalf of the Commonwealth I want to express our deepest sympathy to the President and people of Kenya. Our thoughts are with the families of all the victims at this difficult time. Commonwealth citizens stand united in solidarity with the people of Kenya and all those affected by these atrocious attacks.

"These actions will only strengthen the existing commitment of Commonwealth leaders to combat all forms of terrorism."
