Westgate Mall Attack Video: Nairobi, Kenya, September 21, 2013
An armed attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, began September 21, 2013, and developed into a siege that lasted through September 24. Kenyan officials put the death toll at 67, excluding four gunmen who also died. Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack. Mall security footage released in October 2013 shows shoppers lying flat on corridor floors, crouching behind a kiosk and a decorative elephant statue, and sheltering behind counters. Other shoppers are seen fleeing through the mall. On October 7, 2020, a Nairobi court convicted Mohamed Ahmed Abdi and Hussein Hassan Mustafa of aiding the attackers. Both received 18-year sentences on each of two terrorism counts, to run concurrently, with time spent in custody deducted. Abdi also received a 15-year sentence for possessing material promoting terrorism. A third defendant, Liban Abdullah Omar, was acquitted for lack of evidence. |
