The Kenyan shopping mall where Islamic
terrorists are holding shoppers hostage is
on fire as and a fierce gun battle is
underway as the special forces try to bring an end to the three day siege.
Witnesses say they have heard four large
explosions at the Westgate Shopping
Centre in Nairobi and it is feared gunman
inside may blown themselves up in a
suicide bomb attack. Security forces say they have freed some but not all of the hostages.
Thick clouds of dense black smoke
billowed from the complex after a series of loud explosions and heavy gunfire.
The area around the mall was teeming
with Kenyan soldiers and armoured
personnel carriers, as emergency workers
and reporters were told to take cover.
Ambulances were also seen accelerating
towards the scene as aircraft flew
overhead.
A Kenyan special forces officer said troops had moved in to end the siege with force.
‘I saw them only once, I could not see them much,” he said. “It was hide-and-seek,
hide-and-seek, hide-and-seek. In the end
we had to use full force, we had to finish
with these guys.’
This morning it emerged that a British man had lost his wife and daughter in the
massacre while a prize winning architect,
who had joint British and Australian
nationality was also among the dead.
The Foreign Office confirmed today that
four Britons have now been killed in the
atrocity.
Ross Langdon, 33, was killed alongside
his heavily pregnant Dutch partner Elif
Yavuz. The malaria specialist was just two weeks away from giving birth.
Kenyan troops have moved in to end the
siege but spokesman for terror group Al
Shabaab Ali Mohamud Rage said in a
statement posted on an Islamist website
that those held inside will ‘bear the brunt of any force’ used by soldiers against the
militants.
