DAILY POST: See what a Thailand leader said about terror attack at DUSIT Hotel in Nairobi that has angered the world. , , 07:09 Wednesday, January 16, 2019- Thailand’s deputy junta leader Gen. Prawit  Wongsuwan has sparked outrage after making a distasteful joke over the terror attack on Thai-owned hotel complex in Kenya that left at least 14 people dead.
Addressing reporters during a daily morning briefing, Gen. Prawit said: “It’s good enough that no Thai people died,”  “The Foreign Affairs Ministry is dealing with this.” When a reporter asked him why he thought a Thai hotel had been targeted by the assailants, he quipped. “I don’t know. Maybe because the food is delicious,” Meanwhile, Somalian-based Islamist group, Al-Shabab, has claimed responsibility for the attack. Heavily armed assailants stormed the hotel Tuesday 3pm before setting off explosions and gunning people down. The standoff with Kenyan security forces dragged on until Wednesday morning when President Uhuru in his address to the nation confirmed that the terrorists had been eliminated and situation brought under control.
