Police said they are holding five suspects in the Westgate Mall attack, but maintain that only four gunmen carried out the siege; other authorities have said that number is too low. Two soldiers were court-martialed for looting during the siege. Kenyan forces arrested three Tanzanians in Somalia suspected of membership in Shabaab and deported them to Tanzania. Authorities arrested Tanzanian national Sheikh Ramadhan Jumal outside Mombasa's Masjid Musa mosque last week on suspicion of encouraging youth to join Shabaab; two days of rioting followed his arrest. Security has been stepped up at two Nairobi malls after text messages were sent warning of terror attacks.
