Three British nationals were killed in Saturday's attack on a shopping centre in the Kenyan capital Nairobi - and that number is likely to rise, the Foreign Office has said.
And it said that number is "likely to rise as further information becomes available". The prime minister called it "an absolutely sickening and despicable attack of appalling brutality".
At least 59 people were killed and 175 injured in the attack, the Kenyan interior minister has said. At least 59 people were killed and 175 injured in the attack.

'Don't represent Islam'
David Cameron said "because the situation is ongoing we should prepare ourselves for further bad news".
He added: "These appalling terrorist attacks that take place where the perpetrators claim they do it in the name of a religion - they don't.
"They do it in the name of terror, violence and extremism and their warped view of the world. They don't represent Islam or Muslims in Britain or anywhere else in the world."
Earlier on Sunday, Kenyan interior minister Joe Lenku gave an update on the numbers of those confirmed dead and injured and said 1,000 people had managed to escape from the shopping centre.
There is now a standoff between the Kenyan military and police and the remaining attackers.
Al-Shabab has claimed there are at least 36 hostages, but this cannot be independently confirmed. There are also likely to be people hiding away from the attackers.
A Foreign office spokesman confirmed that Foreign Secretary William Hague chaired a crisis committee meeting on Sunday morning and that a rapid deployment team had been sent from London to Nairobi to provide consular support.
Staff from Addis Ababa have also been sent to Nairobi to assist and the UK High Commission in Nairobi has consular staff near the shopping centre site and at nearby hospitals.
