Kenya’s President announced on Tuesday that a siege of a Nairobi shopping mall was over, but said that losses from the attack by Islamist gunmen were “immense”. “We have ashamed and defeated our attackers, that part of our task is completed,” President Uhuru Kenyatta said in a televised address to the nation. “Our losses are immense,” he added.
The president says three floors of the Westgate mall collapsed and that there are “several bodies still trapped in the rubble including the terrorists.”
