68 Dead in Westgate Mall Shooting in Nairobi

A hostage situation is still ongoing at the Westgate mall, in Nairobi, Kenya.

Sixty-eight people have died as a result of the terrorist attack, carried out by Al Shabaab militants, on Saturday.

Kenyan military forces continued to converge on the mall, on Sunday.

They say they now have the remaining militants surrounded in a grocery store, and that they will be ending the situation as soon as possible.

It is unclear how many hostages they have, but officials say that they have been able to rescue most of them.

The attack has been felt internationally, as the dead come from many nations.

Citizens from Australia, Canada, China, France, Ghana, India, the Netherlands, and the UK are among the victims.

An American was among the wounded, but none were killed.
