Kenya's president has vowed to take harsh measures against Ismalic militants after they attacked a school near the Somali border, killing 148 people.
President Uhuru Kenyatta warned today in a nationally televised address that the planners and financiers of attacks like the one in Garissa town are "deeply embedded in our communities."
Kenyatta said his administration "shall respond in the severest ways possible" to the Garissa attack, which occurred on Thursday when four gunmen entered a campus and slaughtered students. The military moved in hours later and the gunmen were killed.
