Kenya will not be cowed by acts of terrorism, said the country's President Uhuru Kenyatta Friday, adding that the recent Westgate attack by Al-Qaeda allied militants will not be able to dampen the spirit of Kenyans.
He described the terrorists as cowards and mindless criminals who had failed in their evil mission of instilling fear among Kenyans and the nation, Xinhua reported.
"The unfortunate incident by the cowards brought us closer as Kenyans and strengthened our resolve to fight terrorism more aggressively," Kenyatta said during a funeral service of his nephew and his nephew's fiancee in Nairobi.
He praised Kenyans for standing together and refusing to be intimidated by perpetrators of the Westgate Mall terror attack.
