Fair thee well! Two friends who died at DusitD2 given a befitting send off

Two friends who died during the attack on DusitD2 hotel at the 14 Riverside complex in Nairobi were buried yesterday.

Kenyan development professionals Abdalla Dahir and Feisal Ahmed, from consulting firm Adam Smith International (ASI), were having lunch together at the Secret Garden restaurant at the grounds of the hotel when the suicide bomber struck.

Both worked on economic programs trying to improve life in Somalia, home to the militant group that claimed responsibility for the attack.

Their bodies left the mortuary together for a joint funeral in the city.

A man who survived the 9/11 attacks was also killed during the siege that began on Tuesday evening.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that my brother Jason Spindler passed away this morning during a terror attack in Nairobi, Kenya. Jason was a survivor of 9-11 and a fighter. I am sure he gave them hell!”

The death toll in the Dusit Complex terrorist attack has risen to 21 after six more bodies were retrieved from the site last evening.

Of the dead, was a GSU police officer who succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment.

Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet said 28 other people were admitted to various hospitals where they were receiving treatment.

Of the dead, the IG said, 16 were Kenyans, an American, Briton and three other victims of African decent who were yet to be identified.

Five attackers, who were all killed by Special Forces, had frequented the complex weeks before they executed the attack.

The hunt is on for more suspects who collaborated with the five terrorists behind the Dusit Complex terror attack is ongoing.

Police say they have increased security at the main border points to deter any of the collaborators from fleeing the country.

Detectives handling the issue say they believe there more collaborators still out there and that they are pursuing crucial leads into their whereabouts. Two suspects are being held over the incident that left 21 people dead and 28 others injured.
