Somalia’s terrorist group Al Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the attack at Westgate Shopping Mall in Nairobi. Through a message posted via a twitter account, the group said their action was a message to the Kenyan government to remove all its forces from Somalia. The group also claimed that their gunmen had killed more people than indicated by Kenya’s security organs.

Despite those claims Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Lenku said the government had not established who the attackers were.

Meanwhile the number of those killed is placed at 30 with over 50 injured.
