Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed to pursue relentlessly those allegedly involved in the funding, planning and execution of Tuesdays attack on a hotel complex in the capital.
Kenyatta said in a televised address on Wednesday that multiple security efforts are underway to detect, deter, disrupt and defeat any terrorist operative or group.
President Kenyatta said that security forces had killed all four militants who stormed an upscale hotel complex in Nairobi the previous day, in an attack that killed at least 14 people.
He said over 700 people have been evacuated to safety by rescue teams.
Al-Shabab the Somalia-based Islamic extremist group that is allied to al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the carnage at the hotel complex, which includes bars, restaurants, offices and banks and is in Nairobis well-to-do Westlands neighborhood.
An injured member of the Kenyan Special Forces has been taken from the scene of Tuesdays attack in an ambulance.
Kenyan police said early Wednesday there was still an active security operation ongoing after they announced overnight that all buildings in the hotel complex had been secured. Sporadic gunfire still rang out through the morning.
CCTV footage owned by local media in Kenya purports to show at least four gunmen storming the hotel complex on Tuesday afternoon.
