Kenya: Terrorists remain entrenched, death toll rises to 59

The terrorist attack in Nairobi made at least 59 dead and 175 wounded. This is the last balance sheet advanced by the authorities. Al Shabaab fighters have invested the Fashion Mall in the capital of Kenya yesterday afternoon and this Sunday are still entrenched inside with an unspecified number of hostages.

Many customers managed to escape and are now what they saw: "He had a black thing, like a turban. Was a young man with a gun. He was shooting. We were trying to escape. Some people were injured, some were killed. At that time there were cars left the gate. We hid ourselves under a vehicle. When they left, tried to walk slowly into the basement. "

The Westgate shopping centre is situated in a rich neighborhood of Nairobi and is frequented by the upper-middle class and by expatriates and Western aid workers. Al-Shabaab fighters, affiliated with the Al-Qaida, vowed revenge when Kenya sent troops to Somalia to fight Islamic militia.
