Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Indonesian government expressed criticism over the violent acts committed by a radical group that killed 148 people and injured 79 at Garissa University's campus in Kenya, last Thursday, the Indonesian Foreign Ministry noted, Monday.
The Indonesian government extended its deepest sympathies and condolences to the people of Kenya, particularly to the families of the victims. Based on information obtained from the Indonesian Embassy in Nairobi, no Indonesian citizens became victims of the attack.
The Indonesian embassy in Kenya continues to communicate with the Indonesian citizens in that country to increase vigil and to avoid venturing in high-risk places and getting involved in activities related to the radical group.
Indonesian citizens in Kenya seeking information can contact Yoshi Iskandar at the Indonesian embassy in Nairobi through the Embassy's hotline: +254733133000.
As earlier reported, Somalian militants barged into the university's campus on Thursday in the worst-ever terror attack since the bombing of the United States Embassy in Kenya in 1998. Ash-Shabaab, the Al-Queda-affiliated Somali militant group, immediately claimed responsibility for the campus attack.
With explosives strapped to his body, the armed and masked Ash-Shabaab member attacked the Garissa campus, some 200 kilometers from the Somali border, last Thursday. Hurling land grenades and showering bullets on the students, the attackers went on an indiscriminate killing spree. (WDY)
