Kenya mall shooting kills at least 22

Gunmen threw grenades and opened fire inside Nairobi's most upscale mall, killing at least 22 people and wounding dozens on Saturday.

A Kenya Red Cross official gave the death toll and reporters said they saw several dead bodies more than two hours after the attack began at the Westgate shopping centre. Officials did not give an official death toll.

Nairobi police chief Benson Kibue said this was a terrorist attack and that there are likely no more than 10 terrorists
involved, as gunfire continues to be exchanged.

Manish Turohit, 18, says he saw gunmen with AK-47s and vests with hand grenades on them inside the mall. He escaped after hiding in the parking garage for two hours.

A group of people remain in hiding inside the mall.

A witness to the attacks, Elijah Kamau, said that gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave and that non-Muslims would be targeted.

Somali's rebel group al-Shabab vowed in late 2011 to carry out a large-scale attack in Nairobi in retaliation for Kenya's sending of troops into Somalia to fight the Islamic insurgents.
