Death toll rises in Nairobi attack | News Article

The death toll in the Kenya hotel attack has risen to 15.


Authorities say several wounded people are still trapped inside the complex in Nairobi, more than 12 hours after the attack.

Heavy gunfire and an explosion at the upscale hotel and office complex sent people running for their lives on Tuesday afternoon.

Early this morning, gunshots and blasts could still be heard in the area.

That's despite government assurances that everything is under control.

The death toll is expected to rise further.

Somali militant group, al-Shabaab, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
