Sweden / Statement on the terrorist attack in eastern Kenya

By Sweden - Ministry of Foreign Affairs

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 3, 2015/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- The Swedish Government condemns Thursday's appalling terrorist attack against Garissa University College in eastern Kenya.

Once again, Al Shabaab has committed an atrocity against innocent people, leaving at least 147 people dead and many others seriously injured.

I feel great sorrow and anger that all these young people have lost their lives, and I would like to express my own and the rest of the Government's deep sympathy with all those who have been injured or have lost a family member or friend.

Those who are responsible for this terrible deed must be brought to justice. International cooperation to prevent and combat terrorism must continue.
