Kenya's interior minister vowed that the country will not bow to terrorist threats, a day after the massacre of 147 students by Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab fighters.
"Kenya's government will not be intimidated by the terrorists who have made killing innocent people a way to humiliate the government," Joseph Nkaissery told reporters, speaking in front of the university campus in the northeastern town of Garissa.
"The government is determined to fight back the terrorists, and I am confident we shall win this war against our enemies."
Somalia's Shebab fighters carried out the attack, with all four of the gunmen detonating suicide vests after killing 147 people in the day-long siege.
The university siege marks the worst attack on Kenyan soil since the 1998 bombing of the US embassy in Nairobi by Al-Qaeda, when 213 people were killed by a huge truck bomb.
The Shebab also carried out the Westgate shopping mall massacre in Nairobi in September 2013 when four gunmen killed at least 67 people in a four-day siege.
