Police and anti-terrorist forces have regained control of a Nairobi hotel and office complex, hours after extremist gunmen launched an attack that is thought to have killed at least 15 people, including a US citizen.
The assault on the dusitD2 compound in the Kenyan capital, which includes a luxury hotel, restaurants, a spa and several office buildings housing international companies, was the most outrageous by terrorists in the country for many years.
On Tuesday night, the US state department confirmed a US citizen was killed in the attack but gave no further details. A police officer in Kanya said at least 15 people had died, but an official death toll has not yet been released. There were reports one suspect had been detained.
