Another officer who spoke to the Sunday Nation said police have for years warned that Westgate Mall was a high risk target for terrorists.
“They have finally done it and the tragedy is that we did not know,” said the officer, who had gone shopping in the mall before the attack occurred.
He said that together with the people hiding in the toilet, they barricaded the door. He hid his official ID as a precaution.
