Kenyan security forces on Thursday resumed their search of the hotel complex attacked by Islamists with sniffer dogs and bomb experts, as information emerged about one of the attackers who killed 21 people.

A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said they were confident there were no more people trapped inside the hotel or surrounding office buildings after the 20-hour assault, during which some 700 civilians were rescued.

“We are confident that we have no more people there,” the officer told AFP, “but in a situation like this, you are not done until you are done.”

“We are back in with sniffer dogs and bomb experts are checking through because yesterday we found grenades left by those people.”

Police warned the public there may be loud controlled explosions as they continued their sweep of the hotel.
