Part of Nairobi mall roof collapses in siege: fireman

Nairobi: Part of the rooftop parking in Nairobi's Westgate mall collapsed today, a fireman and security sources said, a day after a fierce fire during the ongoing siege by Al Qaeda linked fighters.

The parking area, apparently weakened by fire that blazed during gun battles on Monday as Kenyan troops sought to eliminate Islamist militants who attacked the mall, covered part of the rear of the sprawling complex.
