The Islamic extremist group al-Shabab is claiming responsibility for Tuesday's terrorist attack on a hotel and office complex in Nairobi, Kenya.

Police say at least 15 people were killed and a still undetermined number wounded. The U.S. State Department has confirmed that one American was among the dead, but has not identified the victim. A British citizen was also reportedly killed in the attack.

Kenya's Interior Minister Fred Matiang'i says the country is safe and the situation under control. But gunshots could still be heard several hours after he made that pronouncement.

The attack on the DusitD2 complex began in mid-afternoon with an explosion outside a bank and a suicide bombing in the hotel lobby.
