The 4-day siege at Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya is finally over.
Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta addressed the nation a few hours ago,
saying they have defeated the terrorists and arrested eleven of them.
The president said three floors of the mall collapsed during clearing
efforts and trapped some people. He said Kenyan forces killed 5
terrorists and are currently sweeping the mall for explosives.
Mr Kenyatta said 61 civilians and 6 soldiers were killed in the deadly
mall slaughter that started on Saturday, and carried out by Al Qaeda
linked militant group, Al Shabaab. Almost 200 people were injured while
65 people are still unaccounted for. The Kenyan president said he can't
confirm the nationality of the terrorist. He also declared three days of
mourning.
May the souls of the people we lost rest in peace...amen. May we never see this again.
