'Two or three Americans' among Kenya mall attackers, foreign minister says

Gunfire echoed around a Nairobi mall early Tuesday as security forces continued to hunt al Qaeda-linked attackers - believed by Kenya to include “two or three Americans” and a British woman – behind a siege that killed 62 people.

A large explosion was heard from the shopping complex on the fourth day since heavily-armed militants from the Somalia-based al-Shabaab stormed the busy Westgate complex, terrorizing shoppers.

In an unverified Twitter post on Tuesday, the terror group said its members were “still holding their ground” inside, and that some hostages were “still alive.”
