Shop at Westgate Mall hired to help militants

[Montecresto]

The militants who led the attack on a Kenyan mall hired a shop there in the weeks leading up to the siege, senior security sources have told the BBC.

This gave them access to service lifts at Westgate enabling them to stockpile weapons and ammunition.

Having pre-positioned weapons they were able to re-arm quickly and repel the security forces.

Sixty-seven people are known to have died in the four-day siege. Kenya's Red Cross says 61 others are still missing.

Forensic experts are still combing the complex, looking for bodies and clues.

Wondering if it was the shop owner or just a manager or other personnel that helped the terrorist effort. And whether they were in the shop the day of the attack.

That wasn't very nice.

Now wait for the liberal outcry for background checks on anyone who wants to rent shop space!

Think of it not as another government intrusion; think of it as a job-creation opportunity!
