A deadly terrorist attack at a shopping mall in the capital of Kenya has drawn prayers and condolences from across the country and around the world.
Auxiliary Bishop David Kamau of Nairobi, speaking for the Kenyan bishops' conference, condemned "the unwarranted attacks on the helpless people and residents of Kenya."
"As a nation we share in the trauma of our brothers and sisters who have lost their close relatives and their loved ones during the Westgate attack," he said in a statement, according to the Catholic Agency For Overseas Development, a member of the Caritas International.
"We are in solidarity with our brothers and sisters who have been injured in this terrible tragedy and pray that the Almighty God grants them a quick recovery," the bishop said.
