In the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, a hotel complex has apparently become the target of a terrorist attack.
The responsibility of the attack against the hotel "Dusit" took control of the Islamic Somali terrorist organization Al-Shabaab, reported the jihadist propaganda Site Intelligence Group.
Meanwhile the injured people were taken out of the building complex. "We were attacked," a Reuters journalist told a telephone. Eyewitnesses reported on television that they saw death.
According to the BBC, four armed men attacked the building after driving in two cars. One of the machines then exploded. The second, according to the police also with explosives on board, was subsequently blown up controlled by a disengaging command.
Currently the luxury hotel is free. The "Nairobi News" reports that the attack is not over yet. Presumably, there are some strikers in the hotel complex, according to the police.
The building is located near the Westgate shopping center, where at least 67 people were killed in a terrorist attack in 2013.
