The following is a statement from the Counter Extremism Project:

“The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) condemns the execution-style murder of Ethiopian Christians by Libyan terrorists affiliated with ISIS and the bus bombing in Somalia carried out by al-Shabab that killed Somalis and United Nations (U.N.) aid workers. These vicious and cowardly crimes are stark examples of the deep, depraved hatred that underlies the beliefs of these groups and why it is critical for the future of civilized and peace-loving people around the world that they be ultimately confronted and defeated.   Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims.”
