than 32000 square meters and includes more than 80 stores. it is not clear how many attackers remain inside and the foreign minister said the attackers are foreigners. >> this is homework from al-qaeda and it was planned. i just told you that, you know, we are talking to everybody obviously. if you saw shabaab and it was somebody from somalia and forces from britain israel and u.s. have taken part in the rescue mission. >> they have attempted to storm

the building for the jewish and u.s. for the operation and they killed some people and four who they believe to be jewish. >> reporter: calls for calm in kenya continue to pour in but once again the people in the country are in shock and some mourning the loss of loved ones and others fearing if there could be more suffering, more loss to come. that fear, that sense of loss runs deep and it's hard to find anyone who doesn't know someone caught up in an attack like this. some recall the al-qaeda bombing of the u.s. embassy back in 1998 when more than 200 people were killed. everyone here without exception is still coping with the grief. it's fair to say they have not even started to come to terms with it.

andrew simmons nairobi. >> reporter: we are joined with the vice president of the group that is a strategic consultant agency that works with governments and companies, very good to be with you and we were discussing the situation 24 hours ago when kenya forces were saying they are in control of what is happening here. and we have been hearing more gunfire this morning, so what do you make of the fact that this appears to be ongoing despite what the kenyan forces are saying? >> controls is a relative term practically speaking and that is where we are at at this point, the tactical phase and they have a good deal of control and able to limit who can get in the building and out and restricting who gets in and out of the building and have control there. they are starting to tighten the net and i think it was delayed yesterday quite a bit because of the fire and the security forces were unable to get in the areas where the smoke was just because

it would have been potentially deadly for that and the toxic chemicals because of the fire. as that starts to die down they will continue with the slow move to get more and more control. but they are tightening that net though doubt. >> that distresss you that the kenya forces are using to end the siege, how do you think they are going about trying to end it? >> slow and deliberate is their method and that is a sound method used worldwide. the alternative would be a very dynamic assault and takes a tremendous amount of training and with hostages, a much greater risk they will be killed in a cross fire or by the attackers themselves. >> about the hostages kenya forces say all hostages are accounted for but there are of course reports that some 60 or so civilians are unaccounted for so what do we make of that? is it possible to account for everyone until this is over and

until the mall has been searched like we have been saying, room by room and floor by floor? >> no, it's not. and you see this in similar attacks like this historically. until the -- it's completely and until it's over and the attackers are subdued and do the complete search of the premises they will not know who is accounted for or not or who else is there. there could be a lot of people who are never reported missing by family members to begin with who are in there. >> we belief there are still some attackers inside in the west gate mall and there are reports that some of the attackers are u.s. and british citizens. >> uh-huh. >> what do you make of that? >> that is not new as far as u.s. and british citizens being affiliated with al shabaab or al-qaeda or terrorist organizations. >> why are they involved in such an attack in the kenya capitol nairobi, the rebel group al

shabaab. >> radical process and in the case of somalia americans they could have traveled there originally just to fight for the home land because it was being in their eyes invaded and became radical when they were there and they are part of al shabaab, the terrorist organizations and they could have been radial for a number of reasons and poverty being a very common one and decided to travel there specifically to get the military training and to fight with al shabaab. >> what do the events of the last four days mean going forward for kenya like the united states and also the neighbors in the region? it seems by every account and what happened like al shabaab is back. >> they are back and al shabaab was never gone and they were pounded heavily in the last two years and never gone and they were simply pushed out of the urban areas and able to rebound

in the rural areas and this is their first strike really outside of somalia since the attacks. >> thank you very much, that is martin and the group joining us on set, thank you. >> you are welcome. >> reporter: let's move on to other news, the israeli army is guilty of using excessive force and killing palestinians in the west bank according to a report by the u.n. and sites several cases where young palestinians are paralyzed or injured because of practices by the israeli military and peter sharp reports from bethlehem. >> last february when he took a wrong turn, the 15-year-old school boy was caught in a demonstration against the israeli army as he took a shortcut home and shot in the head, in a coma for two months and the bullet fired by the israeli shoulder is embedded in

nuclear program and dispute with the west and it's ready to make painful compromises and includes keeping the levels at 3-5% for political use purposes only and of course the nuclear program opening for greater international inspections and it's ready to do that and negotiate these steps with the west. the question is if the west is ready. europe says it's ready but what about the united states, the united states should announce and they say they are ready but i don't think that is going to happen in a very short period of time and i don't think the dispute will go away in a short period of time and this is a very complex issue. it's not just about iran's nuclear program. >> reporter: just ahead on al jazeera, we visit the hospital overwhelmed by victims of the bomb attacks and road crashes. and we are on the bridge of the world's biggest container ship as it sails home for the first
