All terrorists who stormed Dusit office park in Nairobi on Tuesday have been killed, President Uhuru Kenyatta announced on Wednesday.

He also confirmed that 14 innocent lives were lost in the attack that has been claimed by Somali Islamist terror group – Al Shabaab.
Flames and plumes of black smoke billowed into the sky from the parking lot of the compound where several vehicles were on fire, with scores of people fleeing the compound, some of them lightly injured.
Somalia-based armed group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack that came a day after trial began in deadly Westgate mall attack case that left 67 people dead.
“We are currently conducting an operation in Nairobi,” the group’s military operations spokesman told Al Jazeera.

Kenyan prosecutors say the four suspects committed a “terrorist act” under Kenya’s anti-terrorism laws and used false documents. The men deny all the charges.

The country faced a spate of attacks after it sent its army into Somalia in October 2011 to fight the al-Qaeda-linked group.

Tuesday attack comes exactly three years after the armed group overrun a Kenyan army base in Somalia killing dozens soldiers.

On April 2, 2015, another al-Shabab attack killed 148 people at the university in Garissa, eastern Kenya.
