US President Barack Obama Saturday afternoon visited the August 7 Memorial Park in Nairobi’s Central Business District where he laid a wreath.

The park is a symbol of devastation that Osama bin Laden left in the country 17 years ago when he bombed the US Embassy in Nairobi, killing 218 people and injuring at least 5,000 others.
