DHAKA: At least six people have been killed and dozens wounded after black-clad masked gunmen attacked an upmarket shopping mall in the Kenyan capital, according to witnesses.

An AFP television journalist saw three bodies laid out in front of Nairobi’s Westgate mall, and two more bodies inside, reports The Straits Times.

An eyewitness who survived the assault by gunmen said he saw the body of a child being taken out of the mall.

‘The gunmen tried to fire at my head but missed. At least 50 people were shot. There are definitely many casualties,’ a mall employee, Sudjar Singh, told media.
