Terrorists attack shopping mall in Kenya
Kenyan soldiers take cover after heavy gunfire near Westgate mall in Nairobi, Sept. 23, 2013.
Sporadic gunfire and explosions were heard Monday from the shopping mall in Kenya's capital where Somali terrorists remained holed-up with an unknown number of hostages.
The standoff began around midday on Saturday, when an estimated 10 to 15 militants from the al Qaeda-linked and Somalia-based group al-Shabab stormed the mall, shooting indiscriminately and hurling grenades inside the large shopping center popular with Westerners. At least 62 people have been killed in the attack, according to Kenya's Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku.
