Nairobi Mall

Kenya said today it may deploy as many as 10,000 police officers to boost security during a visit by Pope Francis later this month as the country readies for crowds of one million people.

Kenya on Sunday marks a year since Somali Islamist gunmen attacked Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall, with anniversary commemorations including the unveiling of a memorial stone and candlelight vigil.

Islamist gunmen who shot dead scores of people in a Nairobi shopping mall last year were in apparent disagreement over whether they should kill women and small children, a court in Kenya heard on Thursday.

The gunmen who attacked an upscale mall in Kenya's capital, killing at least 67 people, likely died in the attack, an FBI official has said.

All the terrorists died in a recent attack on a Kenyan mall, contrary to suggestions in a New York Police Department report that some of the attackers could have escaped, a Kenyan official said.

Four gunmen who attacked a Nairobi shopping mall in September came to Kenya about four months earlier and some had exercised at a gym in an area of the Kenyan capital popular with Somalis, Western officials with knowledge of the investigation said.

Detectives scouring Kenya's Westgate shopping mall after September's massacre by Islamist gunmen have completed on-site investigations, the government said Wednesday.

A woman from Tiruchirapalli in the state, injured in the Nairobi mall attack in September, was brought to the city today for further medical treatment.

Kenya charged four men on Monday in connection with the Westgate mall massacre in September, an attack claimed by Somalia's Al-Qaeda linked Shebab in which at least 67 people were killed.

The British woman wanted for alleged terror offences in Kenya, dubbed the "White Widow", wrote an ode to the late Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden proclaiming her love for him, a report said on Tuesday.

Security camera footage of soldiers appearing to loot goods during last month's Nairobi shopping mall siege has infuriated Kenyans who had initially praised troops for their courage in battling the Somali attackers.

Uganda was on high alert today over fears of an attack similar to the bloody mall assault by Somalia's Shebab fighters in neighbouring Kenya, where investigators continue to recover charred body parts.

A Norwegian citizen of Somali origin is suspected of being one of the attackers who stormed a Kenyan shopping mall last month massacring 67 people, the BBC said.

When the shooting began at the Nairobi mall, Cynthia Carpino and her husband hid in the parking lot. But their 1-year-old daughter wouldn't stop crying. To muffle her cries, her father placed his hand over her mouth so hard she almost suffocated. Little Azzurra fainted in his arms, and three weeks later she's still not right.

Kenyan police said today that only between four and six armed men, not 10 to 15 as earlier thought, conducted the September attack on a Nairobi shopping mall that left 67 dead.
