Somalia-based Islamist group al-Shabab has denied that any women were involved in the attack on a shopping centre in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
Kenya's foreign minister had said a British woman was thought to be among the militants who killed 67 people.
Her comments fuelled speculation that British terror suspect Samantha Lewthwaite may have been involved.
But in a Twitter post al-Shabab said it "categorically denies" the involvement of any women.
"We have an adequate number of young men who are fully committed and we do not employ our sisters in such military operations," the group said.
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta said in a TV address on Tuesday that the four-day siege at the Westgate shopping centre had come to an end.
He confirmed that 61 civilians and six soldiers had died in the attack.
Mr Kenyatta said five of the attackers were shot dead by troops and another 11 suspects were in custody.
