Westgate Mall Terrorist Attack Nairobi - Sep, 2013

Picture
The terrorist attack by al-Shabaab militants on Nairobi's up-scale Westgate shopping mall on September 21, 2013, traumatised Kenya. It left almost 70 dead and some 200 injured. The long drawn out siege only added to the horror.  Kenyan authorities are still answering questions about their response and how they were unable to prevent such a spectacular attack.  In all of this many families were ripped apart. But two Canadian teenage sisters, Fardowsa ad Dheeman Abdi from Toronto, managed to escape.
