Calmly searching corners of the mall — possibly hunting for more victims to kill after executing scores in the main hall of the upmarket complex — the closed-circuit television footage shows four young men ambling around with AK-47 rifles in hand.
Witnesses in the mall described how the fighters stormed the complex midday Saturday when it was crowded with shoppers, firing from the hip and hurling grenades at shoppers and staff.
But hours after the attack started, the men are seen in the bread section of the supermarket, the bulk of their victims most likely already dead.
They wear backpacks, perhaps stuffed with the ammunition that they would use to keep Kenya’s army — backed by foreign special forces — at bay for four days.
Two weeks since Somalia’s Al-Qaeda linked Shebab insurgents attacked Nairobi’s upmarket Westgate mall, the CCTV footage could help answer questions about the bloodbath attack.
One thing is clear: the men were organised, apparently unafraid, and utterly ruthless.
During the attack, Kenyan officials said that between 10 – 15 gunmen were involved, and later claimed to have killed five, although it is not clear where those bodies are now.
But the footage released so far, which covers only one part of the mall and which was taken around five hours into the 80-hour siege, shows only four men.
