2 Men Convicted of Deadly Nairobi Mall Attack

VOA News

   A Kenyan court has convicted two men of helping Islamist militants kill
   at least 67 people in a 2013 attack at a mall in Nairobi.

   The two men, Mohammed Ahmed Abdi and Hussein Hassan Mustafa, were found
   guilty of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act. A third man was
   acquitted of the charges.

   This was the first time suspects were prosecuted for the September 2013
   attack at the Westgate shopping mall.

   The attack was carried out by gunmen from the Somali militant group
   al-Shabab.
