An update on the Nairobi mall terrorist attack

In Nairobi, officials are still trying to get a handle on a terrorist attack in a local mall there. Masked gunmen stormed into the upscale Westgate mall on Saturday, firing shots at civilians.

At last count 62 people have died, and the Al-Qaeda linked Al-Shabab group in Somalia has claimed responsibility for the attack.

For the latest we are joined by Heidi Vogt of the Wall Street Journal.
