September 23rd Update of Westgate Siege

This is what was posted earlier this afternoon on my FB pages and shared on others:

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST for the situation at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. After security forces made some progress late yesterday afternoon/early evening, it was a quiet night. Things began changing at 6 this morning as security forces sought a final thrust at securing the mall and rescuing the remaining hostages. After a series of blasts within the last 30 minutes, huge clouds of smoke are billowing from a section underground behind the Mall. Please pray for safety for any hostages still in the Westgate Mall and for security forces surrounding and in the mall.

UPDATE at almost 7 in the evening in Kenya:  Security forces are still trying to secure Westgate Mall and it is unknown if any of the hostages have been evacuated during the day, so keep praying.
