More than 150 people were injured, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said in a statement broadcast on national television, as he vowed to hunt down those responsible.

Kenyan police search the Westgate mall in Nairobi for the gunmen.
Kenya's police and army were still engaged in a standoff with the gunmen more than 11 hours after the attack began. An unspecified number of people are being held hostage, the Kenya Red Cross said.

"Our security forces are conducting a multi-agency response to this attack as we speak and are in the process of neutralising the attackers and securing the mall," Mr Kenyatta said.
"We shall hunt down the perpetrators wherever they run to. We shall get them. We shall punish them for this heinous crime."

Yesterday's incident was the deadliest attack in Kenya since the 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in central Nairobi that killed 213 people.
The al-Shabab Islamist militant group in neighbouring Somalia threatened to carry out attacks in Kenya after the country deployed its army to southern Somalia in October 2011 to fight the group.
"Al-Shabab confirms it's behind the Westgate spectacle," the group said on its Twitter feed.
"The mujahideen entered Westgate Mall today at around noon and are still inside the mall, fighting the Kenyan Kuffar inside their own turf."
The attack at the Westgate Mall in Westlands, three kilometres north-west of Nairobi's city centre, started at about 12.30pm local time on Saturday.
Middle-class Kenyans and expatriates frequent the shopping centre which has more than 80 shops including bank, a movie theatre, restaurants and a children's play area.
The raid began with several blasts and was followed by shooting, causing panicked shoppers to flee the building or try to hide.
The attackers, who threw grenades, told Muslims they could go free and that non-Muslims were the target.
Marco Lui, a Bloomberg correspondent who was on the second floor of the mall when the attack started, said he heard two explosions within about five minutes.
"We heard a noise from the ground floor and people started running to the parking area on the rooftop," Lui said.
"They were panicking and then the second blast went off and people were even more panicked."
The gunmen entered through the main door of the mall and went on a shooting rampage, moving from the ground level to upper floors, according to staff ArtCaffe, a restaurant in the mall.
"On hearing the gunfire, patrons and staff in the mall ran for cover at every level," they said.
Lui and a friend who were visiting the mall escaped by jumping over a fence on the roof and onto the first floor of an adjoining building. Both were unharmed.
Local broadcasters, including Nation TV, showed images of people fleeing the building under the protection of armed security officers, while some clutched children and broke down in tears. Some of the injured were carried out by other survivors or pushed in shopping carts to waiting ambulances and dead bodies were loaded onto a pick-up truck.
Kenyan soldiers wounded one gunman and have "several others pinned down," Police Inspector-General David Kimaiyo said on his Twitter account about eight hours after the raid started.
An unknown number of hostages were being held in the Nakumatt supermarket at the mall, Abbas Gullet, secretary- general of the Kenya Red Cross, said.
"All the other floors have been cleared, apart from the Nakumatt, which is the biggest shopping complex," Mr Gullet said.
Gunmen or shoppers "could be in stair wells, we don't know, and other places, we don't know."
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon spoke to Mr Kenyatta and expressed his concern and offered his solidarity as the Kenyan authorities dealt with the incident.
"The secretary-general is following closely and with alarm the attack on a shopping mall in Nairobi," according to a statement published on the organisation's website.
An unspecified number of US citizens were injured in the attack, State Department deputy spokesperson Marie Harf said in a statement.
"The US Embassy is actively reaching out to provide assistance," Ms Harf said.
"Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment on American citizens at this time."
The British government is keeping "in close touch with Kenyan authorities about the attack," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on his official Twitter account.
"Appalled by the attack and my thoughts are with everyone affected by it," he said.
