The four-day siege involving suspected Islamist militants at Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre is over, Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta says.

Five attackers were shot dead by troops and 11 suspects are in custody, he said in a televised address to the nation.

Kenya's "losses are immense", he said, announcing three days of national mourning from Wednesday.

Somali Islamist group al-Shabab said it carried out the attack in retaliation for Kenyan army operations in Somalia.
