Death toll from militant attack on Kenyan hotel complex rises to 21 -police chief

The death toll from a militant attack on a Kenyan hotel complex rose to 21 on Wednesday, the police chief said in a televised address.

Those killed in Tuesday's attack on an upscale hotel and office complex included one policeman who had been wounded, Inspector General Joseph Boinnet said.

Sixteen of the dead, including the policeman, were Kenyan, he said, as well as a British man, an American man, and three people of African origin whose nationality was uncertain.

Two suspects had also been arrested for helping the attackers, he said. (Reporting by Humphrey Malalo; Writing by Katharine Houreld; Editing by Toby Chopra)
