UPDATE!!! Kenya Attack: Six Killed In Nairobi Hotel Complex Terror Siege by Dinirojones(m): 10:05pm On Jan 15, 2019
Islamist terrorists detonated explosives and fired automatic weapons as they mounted a deadly attack on a hotel and business complex frequented by Westerners in Nairobi on Tuesday.

At least six people were killed and possibly hundreds more remained trapped inside buildings hours after the incident began.

Local security forces freed scores of civilians as they fought their way into the grounds of 14 Riverside, a compound housing a hotel, restaurant, bars and office blocks in the city’s Westlands district.

But the reported six gunmen were still in control of parts of the five-star Dusit Hotel, part of a Thai-owned international chain that appeared to be the chief target of the attackers.

The Somali militant group al-Shabaab, which has longstanding ties to al-Qaeda, claimed credit for the attack, revisiting the city in which they killed 67 people during an attack on the Westgate shopping mall in 2013...

There was a big bang and then a lot of gunfire, up to 100 shots or more,” said Philip Coulson, a lawyer working in a nearby office block.

“Later, I saw people fleeing and others being carried out with looks of pain or anguish on their face.”

Terrified office workers in the complex’s five blocks, said to house more than 1,000 employees, hid under desks and barricaded doors.

Others, caught in the open, ran frantically for cover.

“Run, run!” one man shouted from behind a low wall as colleagues stumbled on lawns and crawled along the ground in a desperate bid for safety as shots rang out. “Down! Down!”
