State Dept: Americans injured in Kenya mall attack

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The State Department says American citizens have been reported injured but not killed in the attack on a shopping mall in Kenya.

Kenyan officials say the assault by Somali militants on Nairobi's top shopping mall killed at least 39 people and wounded more than 150 others.

In a statement Saturday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf did not offer details about the injured Americans, including how many have been reported hurt.

In a separate statement, a White House spokeswoman says some staff at the U.S. Embassy in Kenya have been "tragically affected" by the attack. No other information has been released.

The spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council, Caitlin Hayden, says the U.S. has offered its full support to the Kenyan government to bring the perpetrators to justice.
