Jihadi Terror Group Storms Luxury Tourist Hotel In Kenya

Somalia-based extremist group el Shabab has claimed responsibility for an attack at an upscale hotel complex in Kenya’s capital on Monday that sent people fleeing from the scene shortly after explosions and gunfire erupted and left a number of people dead.

A group of armed assailants stormed the complex in Nairobi’s Westlands neighborhood, which includes a large hotel known as DusitD2, banks and offices, at 3 p.m. Tuesday and reigned terror as people rushed to safety or took shelter inside the buildings, Kenyan National Police said in a statement.

Photos from the scene showed several vehicles on fire and some people being carried from the scene of the suspected terror attack.
