Foreign Secretary condemns bomb attack in Nairobi, Kenya
Foreign Secretary condemns attacks in Nairobi and offers his condolences to those affected.
The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, said:
I condemn in the strongest terms the attacks that took place earlier today in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi. I offer my deepest condolences to the families that have lost loved ones and to those injured in the attacks.
There can be no place for appalling acts of violence such as this in any society. The Kenyan authorities have our full support as they investigate this incident and seek to prevent further attacks.
