Kenyan Security forces have finally seized full control of the Westgate Shopping mall where Somali al-shabab rained terror for the past three day.
According to BBC News, at least 62 people have been killed,more than 170 injured and 63 others unaccounted for.
Kenya's foreign minister, Amina Mohamed said "two or three" Americans and a British woman were among the al-shabab attackers.
In an interview with the US TV programme PBS Newshour, Amina Mohamed said the Americans were 18 or 19 years old of Somali or Arab origin and lived "in Minnesota and one other place". She also said the Briton was a woman who has "done this many times before".
Kenyan Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku told the BBC late on Monday that the operation would continue overnight, but stressed it was in its final stages.
"The terrorists could be running and hiding in some stores, but all floors now are under our control," he said.
"There is no room for escape".
Meanwhile News24 has reported that, Kenyan special forces are still battling "one or two" Islamist militants holed up inside Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall.
The sources said the militants were located and isolated in or around a casino located on one of the upper floors of the complex.
Sporadic gunfire and the sound of blasts could be heard coming from inside the mall at dawn, witnesses said.
World leaders have continued to condemn the attack and sympathize with Kenya.
