We've shamed and defeated Westgate attackers, sez President Kenyatta
2013-09-25
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] "We have shamed and defeated our attackers," President Kenyatta said during a televised address to the nation Tuesday.

Five terrorists had been killed, while 11 others were in police custody
"We have been badly hurt, but we have been brave, united and strong. Kenya has stared down evil and triumphed. We have defeated our enemies and showed the whole world what we can accomplish."

The President said five terrorists had been killed "with gunfire" while 11 others were in police custody.

"Our losses are immense," he said after revealing that 67 people had lost their lives in the attack.

Of these, 61 were civilians while six officers "had made the ultimate sacrifice in their line of duty".

A total of 240 people were injured.

#1  We have shamed and defeated our attackers

Pay no attention to the 5:1 dead good/bad guys ratio and the loss of an otherwise perfectly good shopping mall.
