Charred pieces of bodies, enough to fill two boxes, have been recovered from the Kenyan Westgate shopping mall that was the scene of a deadly terrorist attack weeks ago.
A security official said it’s possible the remains are of the attackers but that tests will definitely clear doubts.
The two boxes were taken to the morgue on Thursday, and on Friday Western forensic examiners arrived there and locked the boxes containing the remains, a morgue official said.
According to BBC, newly released security video shows that four gunmen entered the mall and casually opened fire on shoppers, birthing a four-day siege that resulted in a massive fire and the mall's partial collapse.
Four AK-47 rifles and 11 magazines of ammunition - all apparently used by the attackers - were also found in the mall rubble, the security official said. A rocket-propelled grenade, likely from Kenyan security forces, was also recovered. The two officials insisted on anonymity because the information hasn’t been released publicly.
Although government officials have denied looting took place, video seen by AP shows soldiers picking items off shelves in a store that appears to be Nakumatt, and then later walking out with bags stuffed with goods.
