Commendations have been pouring in for a British Special Forces soldier who participated in fighting terrorists and rescuing victims during a terrorist attack on a hotel in Nairobi.
MSN news reports that, the elite soldier, who is in Kenya training the country’s special forces, was on an “admin run” when al-Shabaab terrorists stormed the nearby hotel complex, killing 14 people, including a British charity worker
According to media reports, the SAS operative was off-duty, shopping nearby when the incident happened. He dashed to his car, picked up his military equipment and dashed to the scene.

Former British soldier, Chris Ryan, who served in the elite regiment for 10 years, said: “He was out shopping on an admin run.
“He had his equipment in the car, so when it all kicked off he sprinted back to his car and quickly got kitted up before heading straight towards the firefight.
“When he arrived in the hotel he started organising the entire operation, directing the police and army.
“Then he went in there on his own to neutralise the enemy and rescue the hostages.
“His actions certainly saved many lives and shows the manner of these men, who are extremely brave and always ready.”
Pictures and video from the scene show the SAS operative in jeans and body armour, holding a gun, as he escorts bystanders out of the DusitD2 hotel to safety.
The weapon he is seen clutching is a Diemaco C8 Carbine – standard issue for Special Forces soldiers.
Chris, who served in the highly-secretive regiment for 10 years, said footage of the soldier showed he is a highly trained fighter who instinctively knew what he needed to do to save lives.
And he praised his “creativity” in instructing Kenyan forces to block off roads and exits and storm the hotel on his own.
Best-selling author Chris, whose books are inspired by his SAS bravery, said: “That’s just what the guy does, it’s his nine to five job.
“He’s trained to the highest level to react to these types of situations. And counter terrorism operations are just bread and butter to him.
“The calibre of these types of soldiers is such that the other side, al-Shabaab, wouldn’t stand a chance if they came up against this guy.
“He is trained to react to the threat. He will instinctively locate the threat, identify it and then neutralise it.
“His tactic is to shoot the enemy before they get a chance to shoot themselves.
“You can see from the videos that he wasn’t cowering anywhere, he was aggressively moving on to targets, on the prowl hunting these animals down.
“He was dominating the firefight, switching everything from their surprise attack to them being hunted, because they’ve now got a professional solider in the thick of it going after them.”
Chris said he was impressed – but not surprised – at how the soldier took control of the situation, directing the Kenyan police and army as he engaged with the terror gang.
