Terrorists used guns and bombs to seize control of a five-star hotel in Kenya.

Somalian militant group Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack in the capital city, Nairobi.

Between four and six gunmen were seen as two explosions rang out and vehicles were seen on fire, sending plumes of black smoke over the city.

Witnesses were spotted covered in blood and fleeing for their lives. There are also reports that hotel guests have been held hostage.

So far one person has been confirmed dead with another eight injured, but this toll could rise.

There are reportedly 180 US citizens attending a meeting at the complex, but it is not known who the intended target was.

Many survivors told Reuters news agency they had to leave colleagues behind, still huddled under their desks.

And a policeman was heard screaming "there's a grenade in the bathroom" as officers rushed out from one building.

"We heard a loud bang from something that was thrown inside. Then I saw shattered glass," Geoffrey Otieno, who works at a beauty salon in the complex. "We hid until we were rescued."

Office worker Simon Crump told the AFP news agency he had barricaded himself inside.

One woman who works in a neighbouring building said: "I just started hearing gunshots, and then started seeing people running away raising their hands up added some were entering the bank to hide for their lives."

"We are under attack," another person in an office inside the complex told Reuters, then hung up.

And a contractor working on the site told AFP: "There was a bomb and there is a lot of exchange of fire."

Al-Shabaab's military operations spokesman Abdiasis Abu Musab claimed responsibility: "We are behind the attack in Nairobi. The operation is going on. We shall give details later."

The Kenya Police service said: "We wish to confirm that there has been an attack incident.

"The area has since been cordoned off. Motorists are advised to use alternative routes to facilitate smooth operations of the police."

He said: "We have to go for the highest incident that could take place. The highest incident we have is a terror."

Smoke could be seen rising from the area and a Reuters reporter photographed several vehicles on fire near the entrance to the complex.

The British High Commission in Kenya tweeted: "We are aware of reports of an incident around Riverside Drive area in Nairobi.

Kenya police chief Joseph Boinnet said that attack was a suspected militant attack.

"A group of unknown armed assailants attacked the Dusit Complex in what we suspect could be a terror attack," he told a reporters' briefing.

Al-Shabab was responsible for a shopping centre massacre in Kenya in 2013 when militants stormed the Westgate Mall to kill 67 people.

And two years later Al-Shabab - which is affiliated to Al-Qaeda - killed 148 people at a university in Garissa, eastern Kenya.

I seen this being reported all morning.

All I want to do now is go for a holiday to Kenya.

Looks like a beautiful place in the world with humble and pleasant people.

To bring race into it.
Let me guess? This conflict is somehow the white man's fault?

Another thing.

Why do Muslims get so defensive on the terrorism subject?

If you know you're peaceful and don't share the ideals of these extremists, then you have no reason to justify anything to me.

Well I don't need anyone harping in about how a majority of Islam isn't that way.

This is a big reason I'm so anti religion as you well know.
Far too much manipulation and corruption by man has taken place.

You'd be a fool to take every part of the Bible/Quran seriously!

Should be each to their own, I don't care in what you believe or don't believe, don't force your shit on me and I won't force my shit on you. Simple.
