Kenyan security forces have launched an assault on the Westgate shopping complex in the capital attempting to break the two-day siege. The suspected group of al-Shabab militants have been over run (some reports say that there were 10 extremists), accounting for 62 dead and more than 170 injured. The al-Shabab are Somali Islams that carried into Kenya. Tear gas has been used to move the crowds of onlookers in the surrounding area. Since this incident, around the country, security has stepped up at entrance and exit points, making more arrests at unspecified airport. There's no clear indication to what caused the blasts inside the shopping complex.
