Obama tells UN deadly terror attack on mall in Kenya is latest example of dangers that remain

President Barack Obama is telling the United Nations General Assembly that while the world is more stable than five years ago, the deadly terrorist attack on a shopping mall in Kenya “indicates the dangers that remain.”

More than 60 people have been killed by members of the Somali terrorist group al-Shabab in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. The attackers say the strike was retribution for Kenyan forces’ 2011 push into neighbouring Somalia.

Obama said al-Qaida has splintered into regional networks and militias, and said that poses “serious threats to governments, diplomats, businesses and civilians across the globe.”
