KENYA

American teens among mall attackers, Kenya says

The militants carrying out a terrorist attack at a mall in Kenya include American teenagers, the Kenyan government says.
There's no question Al-Shabaab, the group behind the attack, has recruited young Americans. The group has released videos of some going through training camps, including one in which an American declares it "the real Disneyland," CNN affiliate WCCO reported in August.
But just who the perpetrators are of the Nairobi mall attack remains unclear. More than 60 people have been killed.
"Both the victims and the perpetrators came from Kenya, the United Kingdom, and the United States," Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed told "PBS NewsHour."
