A four-year-old British boy caught up
in the Kenya mall massacre showed astonishing bravery by confronting a
marauding gunman who ended up begging for his forgiveness, it has emerged.The child told
one of the terrorists that he was a 'very bad man' as he protected his
mother who had been shot in the leg, and six-year-old sister.
Incredibly,
the attacker took pity on the family and bizarrely handed the children
Mars bars before telling them: 'Please forgive me, we are not monsters.'
His story emerged as sporadic gunfire continued to ring out from inside the mall early today as Kenyan security forces battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a fourth day.
Despite Kenyan police assurances that they had taken control of the building, a
security expert with contacts inside the mall said at least 10 hostages
were still being held by a band of attackers, possibly as many as 13.
Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed said 'two or three' Americans and one British woman were among those who attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi.
