Kenya vows to work with world in anti-terror fight

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday promised to work closely with the international community in anti-terror fight to secure stability in the East African nation.

"Kenya will work closely with international partners on all security matters for the common good of the country, the region and the world," he said at a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec.

Kenyatta said Kenya suffered terror attacks including the Sept. 21 raid on Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall.

Al-Qaida allied Al-Shabaab grouping Somali militants claimed responsibility for the Westgate attack.

President Kenyatta said the government will not be intimidated by terrorists in their mission to instill fear and despondency among Kenyans.

The U.S. envoy said his government was ready to offer any form of assistance Kenya may need in its fight against terrorists.

The American experts are helping Kenyan forces search for bodies and evidence in the collapsed mall, where Shabaab fighters held hostages for four days.

Washington is also providing technical support and equipment to Kenyan security forces and medical responders and vowed to work with Nairobi to stop the scourge of terrorism.
