On the 10th anniversary of a terror attack in Kenya’s Westgate Mall, a moment of silence was observed in the capital city, Nairobi, to honor the 67 people who lost their lives.
Four heavily armed terrorists from a group called al-Shabab took over a fancy shopping center for four days on September 13, 2013.
The attack showed that the different security teams from different agencies did not work well together in responding to terror attacks.
The attack stopped when the four attackers were shot and killed by security officers.
We don’t have much information about the attackers yet, but four people have been charged with helping the militants.
The government has just revealed a new plan to protect against terrorism by using private security guards.
The goal is to teach over 900,000 people and give them a special number for security purposes. This number will be stored in a central database.
