NAIROBI, Jan. 16 -- Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta announced Wednesday the end of a security operation following a terror attack on a hotel and office complex in the country's capital, killing 14.

Kenyatta told a televised news conference that all the terrorists who have attacked the DusitD2 Hotel complex have been killed, ending the 18-hour-long terror attack.

The security teams have evacuated Kenyans and foreigners from the buildings during the operation.

"We are grieving as a country this morning and my heart and that of every Kenyan goes out to the innocent men and women violated by senseless violence," said Kenyatta.

The president vowed to enhance the fight against global terrorism, saying "terrorism will never defeat us."

A mortuary attendant, who declined to be named, said earlier in the day that 15 people were killed as security officers engaged the terrorists in a gunfight on one of the hotel floors.

He said most of those killed are Kenyans and two are foreigners, and the U.S. State Department has confirmed that one of the victims was an American citizen.

On Tuesday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the "terrorist attack."

UN General Assembly President Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces also condemned the attack.

"There is no justification for using terror and violence against innocent people," she said through her spokeswoman Monica Grayley.
