Shabaab's emir threatened more attacks if Kenya does not withdraw its troops from Somalia. The death toll in the attack, already at 62, may rise by as many as 60 more as security forces and forensic experts continue to sweep the building. A British man of Somali origins was arrested at Nairobi airport on suspicion of links to the attack. US officials say Shabaab may have recruited Americans for the attack; officials also say some attackers may have escaped later dressed as civilians. British terrorist Jermaine Grant appeared in court on charges of possessing explosives in a flat he had shared in Mombasa with "White Widow" Samantha Lewthwaite. The US has agreed to Kenya's request to help investigate the Nairobi mall attack.
