Kenya: Nairobi shopping mall attack - a podcast by BBC World Service

In 2013, gunmen from a Somali Islamist group known as Al-Shabab attacked a shopping centre in Kenya’s capital Nairobi.

They took hundreds of people hostage during the siege which lasted four days. More than 60 people were killed, with many more injured.

In 2021, Rebecca Kesby spoke to Daniel Ouma who was a paramedic on duty at the time.
