Nine people have been arrested in Kenya following an attack
on a luxury hotel compound in the capital Nairobi that killed at least 21
people, the BBC reported on Thursday.
Kenya's Red Cross said everyone who was missing has now been
accounted for.
All five militants who stormed the DusitD2 hotel and
business complex on Tuesday have been killed, officials said, and a major hunt
is under way to find those who helped organise it.
Somalia-based Islamist group al-Shabab said it was behind
the attack.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said on Tuesday that five
jihadis carried out the attack, and all were "eliminated" by security
forces after a 19-hour siege.
