Some barricaded themselves in storerooms,  while others hid in boxes or even played dead.

All were fleeing the bloody massacre  unfolding around them as they saw terrified fellow shoppers mercilessly executed  after being singled out as non-Muslim.

 

Men, women and children were lined up and  then gunned down with AK-47s after failing to name the Prophet Mohammed’s mother  or recite passages from the Koran – sure-fire proof they were β€˜kafirs’, or  non-believers.

 

Others fled and sought refuge in shops, bank  vaults and store rooms as grenades exploded and bullets fired around them. 

The fortunate ones managed to emerge  blood-splattered and terrified, with the wounded pushed out in shopping  trolleys.

Hannah Chisholm, 21, from Haslemere, Surrey,  described the terror and confusion at the Westgate Mall, which she was visiting  while on holiday.

Trinidad Express) Trinidad national Ravindra Ramrattan was among several people killed in a terrorist attack and siege at a Kenyan shopping mall that entered its third day today.

Ramrattan, who was awarded the President’s medal gold in 2002, was living and working in Nairobi, Kenya since September 2011. He was employed as a research economist.

 

It was reported that several people were killed and many others held hostage in an upscale shopping mall in Nairobi where al-Qaeda-linked militants attacked.

The Red Cross in Kenya said the death toll in the attack at Narobi’s Westgate Shopping Mall was at least 68.

Ramrattan, of Monroe Road, Cunupia, attended Presentation College, Chaguanas. He attained distinctions in mathematics, chemistry, physics and general paper at the Advanced Level examinations and was named President’s gold medal winner.

Teachers and pupils were informed of his passing this morning.
