Mall reopens two years after 67 killed

Hundreds of shoppers thronged the reopened Westgate Shopping Mall in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, on Saturday, nearly two years after an extremist attack there left 67 people dead.

Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero cut a ribbon during the ceremony, which followed repairs from damage caused by security forces battling four gunmen from Somalia's al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab group in September 2013.

The attack on the upscale shopping center, which shocked the nation and led to a four-day siege by security forces, destroyed part of the roof when the army fired rocket-propelled grenades to dislodge the attackers.
