Barely a day after MPs investigating the Westgate terrorist attack absolved the Kenya Defence Forces of allegations of looting, footage shows soldiers carrying items out of the besieged mall. The 30-minute closed circuit television footage shows scores of soldiers rummaging through the Nakumatt Supermarket and leaving with white polythene bags whose contents cannot be seen. In the footage, about six armed soldiers in full military fatigue are also seen entering a cubicle, thought to be an M-Pesa outlet, near the supermarket’s entry. They are seen ransacking the shop and then leaving, with one putting something in his pocket. Once again, it is not clear what was taken from the cubicle. The clip captured by closed circuit cameras mounted at the entrance to the supermarket does not show the tills or other cash points, making it hard to ascertain whether the soldiers also grabbed money in the course of ending the siege by al-Shabaab terrorists.
