Kenyan Troops 'Looted Shops' During The Westgate Mall Attack

Kenyan Soldiers Looted Stores Before Nairobi Mall Attack Was Over: Report -- Globe And Mail

Within hours of the terrorist attack on the Westgate shopping mall last week, Kenyan soldiers were already looting an abandoned supermarket at the mall, a new report says.

The report, citing closed-circuit television footage, said the video clearly shows soldiers opening cash registers and dumping money into plastic shopping bags on the night of Sept. 21, while the attackers were still in the mall.

The video shows three soldiers walking out of the supermarket with plastic shopping bags filled with cash, according to the report on Thursday by a Nairobi newspaper, The Star. Other soldiers can be seen choosing items from the supermarket shelves, it said.

At least 67 people were killed by the attackers, and dozens more are missing. A Somalia-based Islamist militia, al-Shabab, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
