UPDATED:More Updates At Kenya's Shopping Mall Attack As Their Origins And Identity Is Being Unveiled!.
Up to three American teenaged terrorists
were among those who attacked the
Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya's
foreign minister Amina Mohamed
confirmed on Monday.
The Americans, aged between 18 and 19, of
Somali or Arab origin, lived in Minnesota
and one other place in the U.S, she said in
an interview with the PBS NewsHour. One
Brit was also believed to be involved.
The revelation would support other
information posted on Twitter, which
suggested the terror cell which carried out
the attack was 15-strong and contained
many nationalities, including citizens of the
United States.
The terrorist Al Shabab group that has
claimed responsibility for the attack says its
gunmen are still alive and holding hostages
in the Nairobi shopping mall they seized
four days ago - despite claims from Kenyan
authorities that the siege is over.

The al-Qaida-linked organisation made the
claims after Kenyan government assurances
of success in the fourth-day of the stand
off.
Al Shabab said the hostages 'are still alive,
looking quite disconcerted but,
nevertheless, alive'.
The death toll from the horrific assault
stands at 65, with some 120 injured.
However, that number could rise
significantly. Several reports suggests there
are many more dead still inside the mall.
Associated Press correspondent Jason
Straziuso in Kenya reported on his twitter
feed that the morgue in Nairobi was
preparing to accept 60 more bodies.
Conflicting reports also indicate that three
Kenyan soldiers may have been killed by
the Al Shabab militants - possibly
execution-style after being taken hostage
themselves.
