The al-Shabab attackers are being described by Kenyan authorities as a multi-national group, but still no word whether Americans are confirmed amongst them.
The fatalities includes citizens from various countries as well. Kenyans, British, French, Canadians, Indians, a Ghanaian, a South African and a Chinese woman. (The UK Foreign Office said Monday it has confirmed the deaths of four British nationals.)
Even a motley weakened terrorist group can wreak a ton of havoc and keep authorities at bay in an enclosed public space, as long as the well-armed fuckers have hostages and are willing to kill and be killed.
The Kenyan government is claiming that most of the hostages have been rescued, but it's not clear how many people were being held hostage in the first place.
The Red Cross has revised the confirmed number of fatalities; from 69 to 62 (some had been counted twice).
