Talking Points for Law Enforcement about the Terrorist Attack in Nairobi, Kenya

Last month’s attack (September 21 – 24, 2013) on the Westgate mall in Kenya left the world in shock and reminded law enforcement about terrorism and the threat it still poses to communities. According to the Kenyan Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Lenku, the death toll from the terror attack remained at 67, comprising 57 Kenyans, two French, one Chinese, one Ghanaian, one Canadian, one Korean, one Australian, one South African, one Peru national and one from Netherlands. The number of injured people is well over 100. Another 39 people remain unaccounted for as the investigation continues. Explosives were employed by the terrorists, collapsing floors of the mall. Once the debris is removed, more deaths may be recorded.
