WASHINGTON – The U.S. State Department last week marked the 15th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the survivors and innocent victims of these cowardly attacks” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said.
“We honor the memory of the over 200 people who lost their lives, and we remember the nearly 5,000 who were injured.
“The victims included American, Kenyan, and Tanzanian employees of our embassies.
“Our continued presence in the region and our enduring friendship with the people of Kenya and Tanzania remind us that, despite the devastation and loss of life, the terrorists failed.
“We are committed to bringing them all to justice.”
