At least 67 people were killed on September 21 last year when gunmen from the Somali militant group al Shabaab attacked the luxury shopping mall in the capital, tossing grenades, spraying shoppers with bullets and holding parts of the building for four days. The stand-off was focused around the Nakumatt supermarket inside the mall, one of Kenya's biggest chains, where the attackers held hostages and three staff members died. Reuters/Noor Khamis
