Journalist describes situation in Kenya

The journalist Mike Pflanz described on Euronews the mood in Nairobi in Kenya.

MP: "right now, the siege at the Mall, there are still tens, maybe even hundreds of hidden people in shops, cafes and banks inside the building. Saw Kenyan army units-one of the more specialized to enter the Mall. I believe that other units may join in this operation in an attempt to stop the attackers, and that will surely be hampered by crossfire. At this point not hear gunfire, but the atmosphere is tense. There are people who are still being released, many of the wounded were transported to the hospital. “

Euronews: believes that, at the moment we are in a final phase of the operation?

"It is very difficult to say. The fact that we heard shots recently may indicate that there is no violence, no matter what may be happening inside. But it can also indicate that the men were cornered and that was the information that was given to me by an officer. The situation is not clear and the police still don't control the commercial centre. We're talking about five floors. In the basement there is also a parking lot. I'd say there are probably 20 stores on each floor. If you look at the building from the lobby will see three storeys with shops and balconies where several people can have hidden safely, as the attackers. We're not sure of the number of armed men who entered the Mall. Will be therefore difficult to know whether all were arrested and when security conditions will be reunited.

I heard different testimonies. A that the attackers asked the Muslims to stand up and abandon the site. To prove that they were Muslims had to say the name of the mother of the Prophet. Those who answered correctly were released, others remain trapped inside.
