The group said its fighters were still inside the complex in Nairobi's Westlands neighborhood, which includes a large hotel known as DusitD2, banks and offices. Photos from the scene showed several vehicles on fire and some people being carried from the scene.

I used Fox News as an example, but all the news outlets use the term "fighters" to refer to terrorist.

I can think of a lot more appropriate terms to use. Cowards, Aholes, murderers, butchers and prix all are more accurate than "fighters".

A pet peeve of mine.
