肯尼亚官员说,他们还扣押着涉嫌跟内罗毕商厦袭击事件有关的8个人。

肯尼亚内务部长伦库星期五对记者说,当局已经释放了三个嫌疑人。

肯尼亚当局本星期早些时候说,军队和警察重新控制商厦时击毙了5名激进分子嫌疑人。

官方公布的死亡人数为72人。

调查人员继续在部分倒台的商厦废墟内搜寻尸体。肯尼亚红十字会星期五说,有59人失踪。

伦库说,现场没有发现更多尸体。

总部设在索马里的伊斯兰激进组织青年党声称对肯尼亚商厦袭击事件负责,并威胁要对肯尼亚发动新的袭击。

青年党星期五在推特上说, 对商厦的攻击只是“第一幕的初次公演”。

Kenyan authorities say they are still holding eight people in connection with the deadly four-day siege at a Nairobi shopping mall.

Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku told reporters Friday that authorities have released three other suspects.

Earlier this week, officials said five suspected militants were killed as troops and police worked to regain control of the Westgate mall.

The official total death toll from the siege stands at 72.

Investigators continue to sift through the wreckage at the partially collapsed mall.  On Friday, the Kenyan Red Cross said 59 people remain missing following the attack.

Lenku said no additional bodies have been recovered from the site.


The Somalia-based al-Shabab extremist group claimed responsibility for the attack and is vowing to carry out other acts of violence against Kenya.

On Twitter Friday, the militant group said its attack on the Westgate mall was "just the premiere of Act 1."
