On 21^st September 2013 as Kenyans prepared to go for the Safaricom 7s rugby tournament in support of the national team Shujaa, a group of terrorists armed with assorted weapons and explosives attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Westlands, Nairobi.  Survivors recount horrifying tales of how six terrorists walked into the main entrance, hurled a grenade and shot indiscriminately at the shoppers.

 It is saddening how they have killed 62 innocent people including children and seriously injured over 175 others. The survivors identified the attackers to be of Somali origin. They displayed a placard written in Arabic, anyone who could not read the statement was shot. They are said to have claimed to be on a revenge mission before opening fire. 24 hours after they attacked they are still holding hostages in some parts of the mall. The security forces have secured most of the floors and are currently working on flushing them out in the last sections and rescue the hostages. The alshabab terror group has claimed responsibility of the Westgate mall attack.
