Official: Kenya mall attackers refused to negotiate, 'only wanted to kill'

Nairobi, Kenya (CNN) -- Some answers may be revealed in blood-stained halls or deep in the rubble of Nairobi's Westgate Mall. Others may never be known.
That's the reality for investigators and the people of Kenya on Wednesday, still coming to grips with a vicious attack and armed standoff that ended a day earlier with all the perpetrators believed to be either detained or dead.
Details continue to emerge that paint an ever-clearer picture of the horror and drama that transpired over those four days, as well as of the actions and mindset of perpetrators believed to belong to the Somalia-based Al-Shabaab terrorist group.
It all started on Saturday when they -- after reportedly escorting out Muslims -- stormed into the upscale mall and began shooting. A senior Kenyan government official said there were actually "very few" innocents taken captive; the attackers, firstly, were out for blood.
They only wanted to kill."
