Gunfire Heard in Nairobi Mall, Two Wounded Troops Evacuated

Fierce gunfire could be heard coming from inside Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall Sunday, an AFP correspondent at the scene said, adding that two wounded Kenyan soldiers were evacuated from the complex and taken away by ambulance.

Kenyan security forces have been battling to end the siege in the upmarket mall for more than 20 hours, after fighters from Somalia's Al Qaida-linked Shebab group stormed the mall in an attack that killed at least 39 people and wounded 150 more.
