Kenyan special forces take position at the scene following several explosions and heavy gunfire.


The four attackers, one wearing a green belt laden with grenades, were seen on CCTV blasting their way into the hotel and office complex in Nairobi after detonating car bombs outside a nearby bank .

The suicide bomber then blew himself up in the lobby before the other three began hurling grenades and shooting people as they fled or hid under tables.

Kenyatta said that 14 civilians have been confirmed dead and that more than 700 people had been evacuated to safety from the the 14 Riverside Drive complex which includes a large hotel known as DusitD2, banks and offices.


Somali Islamist militant group al-Shabaab, which has links to al-Qaeda claimed that it was behind the terror attack.

Just like in the movies. Nice one Explorers. But those taking pictures really have mind oh!

Heaven knows I don't want this situation for me and my loved ones. I can't imagine being caught in the middle of a terrorist situation; those thoughtless souls who derive joy in taking human lives.

May we all never encounter or fall victim to any form of terrorism - we or our loved ones.

These are soldiers and these are quality guns...Nigeria soldiers are political police. we don't have soldiers in Nigeria. I wonder how our so called security personnel will respond if we're in same situation. Police will say we close by 6p.m for security reasons, Army will say no ammunition, airforce will say no fuel for aircraft, Fire service will also say we don't have water, we can't come. chai.

All these attacks are aimed at preventing a vibrant growing tourism sector in Kenya. These attacks are heavily sponsored
