"Stuck in Westgate. I think it's a terrorist attack. Pray for me," was the message which Abdul Haji, 38, read from his brother.
Rushing to the shopping centre in Nairobi, he joined a group of vigilantes, determined to rescue his brother and anyone else he could find.
A gun enthusiast, he tells how he engaged some of the attackers in combat. He also tells how in one incident he rescued two women and three children after persuading them to run to safety.

bs. it's all bs.
the Kenyan incident is a proven hoax
and any and all hero 'testimony' is a load of palava.
burning mattresses collapsing buildings and toasting cars-my arse!
if you can't see thru this hoax, don't fret. there is another
coming your way pretty soon where it will be made even clearer
that you are being hoaxed.
but it is all in a good cause. the very best, possibly.
The BBC investigation has revealed how the Westgate gunmen were able to plan and carry out the siege, and how security breaches allegedly fuelled by corruption made it an attack waiting to happen.
To rent a shop, the militants would have needed fake IDs supplied by corrupt government officials.
The BBC has also confirmed more details about how they executed their attack.

"A man has told the BBC how he engaged some of the Nairobi mall attackers in combat after receiving a text from his brother who was trapped inside.
Abdul Haji rushed to the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi on Saturday, determined to help his brother and anyone else he could find.
He describes one incident where he rescued two women and three children after persuading them to run to safety."
Why do people believe this Guff.
A police doctor scouring Nairobi's Westgate mall for bodies after a four-day siege by Islamist gunmen that killed dozens has said victims were tortured before they died, according to a Kenyan newspaper.
"Those are not allegations. Those are f****** truths," the doctor, a forensics expert, told the Star newspaper.
"They removed balls, eyes, ears, nose. They get your hand and sharpen it like a pencil, then they tell you to write your name with the blood. They drive knives inside a child's body. Actually, if you look at all the bodies, unless those ones that were escaping, fingers are cut by pliers, the noses are ripped by pliers."
The information could not be independently verified, but William Pike, the British editor of the Star, said the reporters working on the story had been given similar accounts from other sources. "We have [the source] on a recording. He was talking very graphically, and he was very angry."

[...] Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku [...] said an "insignificant" number of bodies are still trapped.
Ghoulish accounts on the fate of the hostages have circulated Nairobi and there have been claims the military was forced to blow up part of the Westgate complex not just to bring the siege to an end, but to end the appalling suffering of hostages amid reports that some were raped, and others beheaded and their heads thrown out of the windows.
