Militants purporting to represent the terrorists who took over a Nairobi shopping mall claimed Tuesday that gunmen and their hostages were still alive, challenging Kenyan government accounts that the operation was all but over.

Kenyan authorities said security forces had full control of the Westgate shopping mall, and armed authorities were make final sweeps to secure the building.

The Interior Minister said the security forces "continue to neutralize terrorist threat, troops now in mop up operations in the building."

But a Twitter account purporting to represent Somali terror group al-Shabab claimed Tuesday that the operation wasn't over.

"The hostages who were being held by the Mujahideen inside #Westgate are still alive, looking quite disconcerted but, nevertheless, alive," said a Twitter feed attributed to the terror group which has claimed responsibility for the attack which has killed 62 people.

The Site Intelligence Group, which monitors international terrorist organizations, confirmed the authenticity of the Twitter account, al-Shabab's sixth since the siege began. Previous accounts were suspended.
