so i'm not that concerned with the principle of establishing an intelligence branch in the ministry of interior that seems logical but you're right this has to be done in a new way so it doesn't bring back doesn't haunt us with the practices of the past just to little time has passed course for that organization i think drastically changing but if you're under you you've raised a number of really great questions. why do you rest two thousand people rather than one hundred people. because you're not sure who did what. so the best way to know is to have the information gather the information a priori so that you don't have to go out and arrest them first and then investigate so i'm going to release them of course of course. as you invest as you interrogate them some will be released immediately and some have others where the evidence is a bit more stachel they will be considered by the attorney general even he will decide well it's not substantial enough and we will use the more and then he cannot claim. guilt or innocence yes then give it to the court system so i support having an intelligence b

>> reporter: that's absolutely what we're hearing from the kenyan ministry of interior and defense, which is the kenyan army. they say that they have managed to successfully secure the release of most of those hostages. they do say most. we're not quite out of the woods yet. they say that operation is still ongoing but there is finally, they believe, a resolution in sight. they also say they have finally, after over 36 hours of impasse with those hostage-takers, that they have he isssecured most of building. we have been pushed back with members of the public to a road slightly further away from the west gate shopping mall. as much as to protect as to try and safeguard that ongoing operation. there was some pretty compelling evidence, i should say, that hostage-takers were receiving, information from the outside world as to how things were carrying on and how the hostage situation was being perceived. and for those reasons the kenyan government has consistently called upon us and other members of the media to be very careful about what we've been putting out there. but they are hopeful, t

they are calling on people to stay away from the ministry of interior building and the defence building. they are saying that they will carry out more attacks. they are saying that they did this in response to the massacre, the situation that occurred at nassar city, and the square outside of that area. hundreds were killed when security forces went in there to clear the area, as well as outside cairo university. in the statement they mentioned the deaths that occurred during the long period of a lot of instability while muslim brotherhood members and supporters gathered at various locations. here they mentioned death outside the republican guard. the statement apologised, in fact, for failing to kill the minister. it emphasised that there'll be more attacks. it called on people to join in these attacks, and is also specifically mentioned the defense minister and the interior minister, mohammed ibrahim who escaped from the assassination attempt a few days ago >> thank you for the update from cairo. >> now, the afghan president condemned a nator airstrike in the north-east province. hami

just after 8:00 in the evening and a fire has broken out at the scene of that tense mall standoff in nairobi kenya. the interior ministry saying it is now very clear few if any hostages are still alive in that mall. the al jazeera reporter found out how hard it is to cover that story. >> here more gun fire going on behind you. >> katherine was reporting on several large explosion and gun fire at that mall. kenya's interior ministry saying at least two attackers killed during this morning's operation. it says at least 62 have died during the siege. does of tourists including several americans were hurt. >> all emergency services stretched to near breaking point. the military engaged in an operation that they say saved lives. then this: persistent heavy gun fire. the thick pal of smoke has been there for more than an hour now. and this looks like the final stages, but no one is sure exactly what the situation is. the interior ministry say the al shabaab gunmen are responsible for this. it's thought they detonated explosives when the security forces attacked. within minutes, the interior minister made this announcement: >>

media some of the militants came from the united states and the uk. the kenyan interior ministry announced that the military has control of most of the mall. however, those in the area reported sporadic gunfire on tuesday. >> in the morning around 8:00, we heard some exchange of guns into the building. >> the islamist group al shabaab based in neighboring somalia has claimed responsibility for the attack. at least 62 people have died. the foreign minister spoke to u.s. public broadcaster pbs about where the attackers are from. >> from the information that we have, two or three americans, and i think so far i've heard of one brit. >> mohamed said the americans are of somali or arab origin and lived in minnesota and one other place. u.s. authorities are trying to confirm the information. white house deputy national security adviser ben rhodes said the u.s. has been concerned about efforts by al shabaab to recruit americans. fbi agents say there are reports that more than 40 young people from somalia exiled communities in minnesota and other states have traveled to somalia over the

it was seem from the announcements that we've had from the interior of ministry, that a large number has been rescued. we don't know the latest casualty figures, but it does appear the majority of the hostages have been released. although we don't know how many are left inside whether it's a small number or not. it's clear on the present information supply. the information supply is a little erratic, and sometimes a little bit misleading. remember all of this was being monitored by al-shabab through media, through the internet, the security services have been adamant that the press show detailed shots if they're able to get them. an indicator of that is our right now. we're not able to use our camera, although i am able to stand at this vantage point, but i'm not able to use any filming device, not a phone, not any device. that's a continue of being able to be on this roof. some of my sources are suggesting there is misinformation being put out certainly at the earlier stages as a means of giving the al-shabab the wrong idea of what was going on. but as i was standing here, well, not

one of the problems here is the kenyan authorities don't know exactly how many attackers there were, so they don't know exactly how many they are looking for. the interior ministry of kenya sent out tweets a couple of hours ago saying, quote, we can confirm that three terrorists have been killed so far. a few others have suffered injuries. and they went on in another tweet, we can also confirm that we have arrested more than ten suspects. it is not clear to us at this point whether all those suspects were inside the mall, were actually the attackers, or whether some of them may have been involved in planning this attack from outside, trace. >> trace: they have suspects in custody. do we know anything else about the possible motive. >> al-shabab is a terror group based in somalia. they said publicly this attack was in part revenge for kenyan military operations in southern somalia, but it is interesting to note that some of the eye witnesses to this attack have also said that the al-shabab militants who were involved, were asking individuals inside that mall if they were muslims, asking them to recite a prayer as a test, and then shooting them point blank in the
