Kenya Defence Forces Twitter Statement: "The delicate & complex nature of the Westgate rescue operation called for extreme care & caution to ensure the safety & security of the hostages. Unfortunately, 11 KDF soldiers sustained injuries and were admitted at the Defence Forces Memorial Hospital. Regrettably, 3 of KDF soldiers involved in Westgate Mall rescue operations have succumbed to their injuries. The Chief of the Defence Forces, Gen (Dr) Julius Karangi condoles the families of the fallen soldiers. Gen Karangi hails the fallen soldiers as part of our modern day heroes who have paid the ultimate price in the defence of their country Such cowardly acts of terrorism will not dampen KDF resolve to ensure that peace & stability is regained in Somalia & in the region." #WeAreOne #WestgateHeroes
