they say the remaining hostages will be killed. they say this is payback for when kenyan forces entered somalia back in 2011. gunfire could be heard coming from the westgate mall in nairobi, kenya, earlier this morning. a al shah bob has claimed responsibility for the attack that has killed dozens and wounded more than 175, including several americans. san diego native elaine deng is among those injured. >> i just got out of surgery. i'm okay. i'm very grateful to be alive. . >> reporter: secretary of state john kerry says the u.s. will pursue the terrorists responsible. >> the challenge that we face. they were ruthless and completely reckless terrorists. kwr security experts say al shabab's influence has been growing and has even reached across to the u.s. >> i conducted a hearing on al shabab. it's an extremely deadly

organization, very well trained, and it's one of the only al qaeda affiliates which has actively recruited here in the united states. >> reporter: this gentleman has testified before congress about al shabab's recruiting tactics. his nephew died fighting for the terrorist group in somalisomali. but many somalia-americans say al shabab does not represent their culture or their faith. >> it's not islamic culture. it is not islamic teaching. >> reporter: a spokesman for al shabab tells us in reports that americans involved in the attack are not true. they specifically targeted muslims and u.s. is calling on all to ramp up efforts. >> ko im in washington. thank you. cbs travel editor peter green st. petersburg in nairobi. peter, what can you tell us is happening on the ground now?

>> the assault that you mentioned in your earlier report started around 5:00 in the evening as soon as it got dark. it was a slow and methodical approach because they didn't know where the hostages were or the terrorists were. they had to go floor by floor in this massive building that has 80 different stores. many of the hostages that they were able to get released were actually not being physically held by the terrorists but were actually hiding in different parts of the mall. now comes the tough part because they don't know how many hostages are being held, physically being held. that's why you hear gunfire. store by store, floor by floor. >> do we know if all of the hostages are out yet, if all of the injured are being taken care of? >> reporter: we still do not know that. it's a very fluid situation here. >> all right. peter greenberg in nairobi. thank you for joining us by telephone. well, non-muslims were also targeted in pakistan. a pair of suicide bombers targeted a church in peshawar. at least 81 people were killed against the country's christian

minority. they say they would continue to attack non-muslims until the united states stops drone attacks in pakistan's tribal region. victims of the washington naval yard shooting were remembering during an emotional memorial service. president obama and the first lady attended. the president made an impassioned plea for americans to fight for stricter gun laws. thousands attended yesterday's service, most of them navy families. >> martin john bodrog. >> reporter: 12 bells were rung in honor of the 12 people who were killed. >> we cannot begin to comprehend your loss. >> reporter: the president noted this is the third time he's grieved with people. no one should endure this kind of violence. >> we don't do enough. we don't take the basic commonsense actions to keep guns

out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. what's different in america is it's easy to get your hands on a gun. >> reporter: aaron alexis, a former sailor who struggled with mental illness, opened fire at the navy yard last week. he was killed during a gun battle with police. >> this is a tragedy that should not have happened. >> reporter: earlier during a broadcast interview, wayne lapierre of the national rifle administration blamed security at the navy academy. >> there weren't enough good guys with guns. >> reporter: the president said there's nothing inevitable about attacks like this but that america must change. >> by now, though, it should be clear that the change we need will not come from washington. even when tragedy strikes washington. change will come the only way it ever has come, and that's from the american people. >> well, congress has no plans to take up new gun control legislation. but congress is debating the

budget. if a new budget isn't passed, the government runs out of money october 1st. this week the senate is expected to take up and reject a measure passed on friday in the house. it funds the government for the rest of the year, but only if the funding for president obama's affordable care act is cut off. >> we do not have the political power to do this, and so we're not -- we're not about to shut the government down over the fact that we cannot only controlling one house of congress tell the president that we're not going to fund any portion of this because we can't do that. >> there's no way we should be talking about shutting the government down, but i will say on the other hand, bob, raising the debt doesn't fix the debt. we're talking about our financial future, we're talking about getting our financial house in order. we need real adults at the table working that out. >> an even more contentious debate lies ahead over raising the debt limit, the borrowing

debt limit. president obama says that's something he will not negotiate. hillary clinton says she is considering running for president, but in an an interview in this week's "new york" magazine, the former secretary of state says she's being pragmatic and realistic as she considers a 2016 bid. clinton says i'm not in any hurry, i think it's a serious decision not at to be made lightly but one that doesn't have to be made soon. well, coming up on the "morning news," a check of this morning's business headlines and top honors for prime-time tv from "breaking bad" to "the big bang theory." we'll show you the winners of the prime-time emmy awards. this is the "cbs morning news."
