NAIROBI, Sept 21 (BBC): Kenya is marking a year since the attack on Nairobi's Westgate shopping centre, in which at least 67 people were killed. A memorial plaque will be unveiled and a candle-lit vigil held.
The siege at Westgate lasted four days, with CCTV footage showing terrified shoppers fleeing the gunmen and cowering behind counters.
Somali Islamist group al-Shabab said it carried out the attack in response to Kenya's military operations in Somalia.
Later on Sunday, relatives of the victims will lay wreaths at a garden in the forest where 67 trees were planted after the attack.
Interfaith prayers will also be held at the site.
