The 4-day siege at Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya is finally over.
The Kenyan president, Uhuru Kenyatta a couple hours ago addressed the nation, confirming that the terrorists had been arrested - 11 of them, and 5 of them were killed.
The president then added that, three floors of the mall collapsed during clearing efforts and that a couple of people were trapped. He said Kenyan forces were currently sweeping the mall for explosives.
He also 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 lost rest in peace...amen.
