A child runs to safety as armed police hunt gunmen

who went on a shooting spree at Westgate shopping centre

in Nairobi Sept. 21.

 

The gunmen stormed a shopping mall

in Nairobi on Sept. 21 killing at least 20 people

in what Kenya's government said

could be a terrorist attack,

and sending scores fleeing into shops,

a cinema and onto the streets in search of safety.

 

Sporadic gun shots could be heard hours

after the assault started as soldiers surrounded the mall

and police and soldiers combed the building,

hunting down the attackers shop by shop.

 

Some local television stations

reported hostages had been taken,

but there was no official confirmation.

Al Qaeda-inspired groups        USA        2012

 

jihadists of various kinds,

some identifying themselves with Al Qaeda,

are flourishing in Africa and the Middle East,

where the chaos that followed the Arab uprisings

has often given them greater freedom

to organize and operate.
