The attack on the upscale Westgate Mall in Kenya’s capital has killed dozens of people and wounded scores of others.

CNN has released the names of nine people it says were involved in the attack. Three of the men have lived in the United States, including a 27-year-old man who it said lived in Kansas City, Mo.

The other two people who have lived in the U.S. were from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in Minnesota, according to the report.

Kenyan’s military said late Sunday it had rescued “most” of the remaining hostages held by al-Qaida-linked militants in an upscale Nairobi mall after launching a major operation to end a two-day standoff that had already killed 68 people.

The assault, which began shortly before sundown, came as two helicopters circled the mall, with one skimming very close to the roof. A loud explosion rang out, far larger than any previous grenade blast or gunfire volley.

Kenya Defense Forces said it had rescued most hostages and had taken control of most of the mall. Officials did not immediately release the number of hostages rescued or the number that remained. Officials said four Kenyan military personnel were wounded in the operation.

There are reports that the assailants demanded victims recite Islamic prayers, and if they could, they were let go. If not, they were killed.

The dead include Africans, Europeans, Asians and North Americans. Here are details about some of the victims.
