Suspects in court in Nairobi, Kenya (4 Nov 2013)
The men are accused of giving shelter to the Westgate attackers
(BBC) The trial of four men charged over the Westgate shopping centre siege in Kenya has started in the capital, Nairobi. The four suspected foreigners deny charges of aiding a “terrorist group” and being in Kenya illegally.

The court heard testimony from security guards who saw what happened when the gunmen launched the attack in September, killing at least 67 people.

Somalia’s al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group said one of its suicide brigades carried out the siege. The four are the first to be charged over the attack – the worst in Kenya since 224 people were killed in the 1998 bombing of the US embassy.
