[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 191309, member: 35"] [b]re: UPDATED!! Somalia Al-Shabab claims Nairobi Westgate Kenya attack (& Video)[/b] The most recent information updated as of 11:47 ET hours. It appears that some militants are not dead and that fire in the mall is as widespread as reported by the Daily Mail. There are 62 confirmed dead, and not 69 as previously reported From the BBC [B] Nairobi attack: Kenya forces storm Westgate centre[/B] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-24206913[/url] Kenyan security forces have launched an assault on the Westgate shopping complex in the capital Nairobi in an attempt to break the three-day siege. Sporadic gunfire is continuing at the mall, where suspected al-Shabab militants remain holed up. The Kenya Defence Forces said three "terrorists" had been killed and all escape routes sealed off, with troops now focusing on clearing the building. The official death toll stands at 62 and more than 170 have been injured. The Somali Islamist al-Shabab movement has said it carried out the attack in retaliation for Kenyan military operations in Somalia. Even if foreign forces are giving advice or even more, the Kenyan authorities are unlikely to want to give the impression that they can not deal with this crisis themselves. There were earlier reports of sustained gunfire and dozens of Kenyan troops were seen crossing the road into the Westgate centre, from where a thick plume of black smoke was billowing. The Kenyan security forces (KDF) said the fire had been started by "terrorists to distract the ongoing operation", and that the blaze was being managed by firefighters. It said 10 bodies had been retrieved from the building in the last 24 hours. More than 200 civilians have been rescued, 65 of whom remain in hospital. The KDF said 11 of its soldiers had been injured during the stand-off. Earlier, police used tear gas to disperse crowds of onlookers gathered close to the Westgate Centre. The Interior Ministry warned said in a tweet: "We are pleading with you, #WestGateMall is a scene of crime. For your own safety keep off that area. Roads leading there have been cordoned." Security has also been stepped up at entrance and exit points across the country, with "more than 10 individuals" arrested in relation to the attack, the ministry said. However, it did not specify when or where the arrests were made. Kenyan soldiers stormed the building early on Monday, in what appeared to be a dramatic turn of events in the security forces' operation. Television pictures showed troops running towards the complex. There were reports of heavy gunfire and explosions. Officials said about 10 attackers were thought to be inside. It is not clear as yet what caused the blasts, or what impact they are having on the operation to rescue hostages held by the militants. Repeated threats More than 1,000 people were inside the mall complex when the attack began on Saturday. Dr Sunil Sachdeva, a dentist who runs a clinic inside the mall, described the scene as the attack unfolded. "There was a tent where a cookery competition for children was carrying on and there were bodies lying under there," he told the BBC. "There's a very famous radio presenter in Kenya, she was shot. The scene was carnage and there was a guy lying right in the corner. He was cut to shreds." Prominent Ghanaian poet Kofi Awoonor - who was attending a literary festival in Nairobi - also died, as did a Chinese woman. French, Dutch, South African, Indian and Canadian nationals are also among the foreigners confirmed killed, along with a dual Australian-British national. Thousands of Kenyans have been responding to appeals for blood donations. Al-Shabab says it carried out the attack in response to Kenyan military operations in Somalia. The group, which is part of the al-Qaeda network, has repeatedly threatened attacks on Kenyan soil if Nairobi did not pull its troops out of Somalia. There are about 4,000 Kenyan troops in the south of Somalia, where they have been fighting the militants since 2011 as part of an African Union force supporting Somali government forces. Al-Shabab is fighting to create an Islamic state in Somalia. Despite being pushed out of key cities in the past two years, it still remains in control of smaller towns and large swathes of the countryside. [/QUOTE]
