NAIROBI, Kenya — An upscale hotel complex in Kenya’s capital came under attack on Tuesday, with a blast and heavy gunfire. A bomb disposal unit was on the scene and vehicles were being cordoned off for fear that they contained explosives. Ambulances, security forces and firefighters rushed to the scene, sirens wailing. A large group of women were hurried out by security forces, one woman still in hair curlers. What appeared to be plainclothes security forces inched their way toward the scene, guns in hand.
