Three Of The Alleged KENYA Attackers Are From The United States,one From Canada. by donsax: 10:46pm On Sep 22, 2013 |
[b][/b]Authorities in Kenya appeared close to ending a deadly siege early Monday at an upscale Nairobi mall, where attackers have killed at least 68 people, injured 175, and were believed to be holding about 30 people hostage. "All efforts are underway to bring this matter to a speedy conclusion," the Kenyan military announced on Twitter. It said that "most of the hostages have been rescued and security forces have taken control of most parts of the building." Earlier, police had tweeted that a "MAJOR assault" by security forces was ongoing. The developments come two days after Al-Shabaab militants first stormed the shopping center, spraying bullets and unleashing chaos. There are believed to be between 10-15 gunmen involved in the attack, according to Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta. Sources within Al-Shabaab told CNN that nine names listed on a Twitter site -- now suspended -- were people who were among the alleged hostage-takers. Three of the alleged attackers are from the United States, two are from Somalia and there is one each from Canada, Finland, Kenya and the United Kingdom, according to the list. Kenyatta vowed Sunday to hold those responsible for the violence, accountable. The tragedy is personal for the president; one of his nephews and his fiancee were among the dead.
