Soldiers in Kenya say they've taken control of Nairobi's Westgate shopping center after three days of killings and hostage-taking. At least 62 are said to be dead and almost 200 injured, including 5 Americans. The attackers are from al-Shabab, an Islamist militant group from Somalia. We hear from Nairobi and look at the targeting of civilians elsewhere in Africa and other parts of the world.
