Troops 'in control of Nairobi mall'

Troops have wrested control of nearly all the Nairobi shopping mall two days after it was seized by armed Islamic terrorists who killed at least 62 people, the government claimed tonight.

Four thunderous explosions reverberated through a Nairobi neighbourhood in the morning, raising fears for the lives of any remaining hostages still being held by al-Shabab, a Somali group linked with al-Qaida, in the Westgate Mall.
