UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon on Monday condemned¹ "in the strongest terms" the Sunday attack in Kenya's eastern town of Mpeketoni that killed at least 48 people and wounded many more.
"The secretary-general reiterates² the solidarity³ of the United Nations with the people and government of Kenya in their struggle against terrorism," said a statement issued here by Ban's spokesman. "He trusts the authorities will do all in their power to bring the perpetrators to justice in a manner that is fully⁴ respectful of Kenya's human rights obligations."

"The secretary-general extends his condolences to the families of the deceased and the government of Kenya and wishes the wounded a swift recovery," the statement said.
Survivors⁵ said about 50 heavily armed attackers with explosives stormed the busy eastern coastal⁶ town in vehicles, spraying bullets on residents. Mpeketoni is now like a ghost town as many residents are still not back home after they took cover last night in bushes, they said.
The radical⁷ Islamist group of Al-Shabaab on Monday claimed responsibility for the latest attack.
Al-Qaida-linked Somali militants⁸ have vowed⁹ to attack Kenya after Kenyan soldiers crossed into Somalia in 2011 to flush out the insurgents¹⁰ Nairobi blamed for kidnappings of tourists.
The militants have committed similar attacks in Nairobi, Mombasa and towns bordering Somalia in what they said was a retaliation¹¹ for the Kenyan military incursion in their country.
