At least 30 people were killed as gunmen, armed with grenades, stormed an affluent Nairobi shopping centre yesterday. The attack is said to have involved up to 10 men, some of whom looked as young as 18, according to witnesses.

Nairobi’s Police Chief, Benson Kibue, described the assault as a terrorist attack, and tonight the Somalia-based group al-Shabaab was reported to have claimed responsibility.
