Almost one month after gunmen attacked an upscale mall in Kenya, one of them has been identified as a Norwegian-Somali, officials said, as charred body parts taken from a collapsed portion of the shopping center awaited forensics analysis to determine if they were the remains of the assailants.
The suspect was identified as Hassan Abdi Dhuhulow, the first time officials have confirmed having a real name of one of possibly four attackers from the Somali militant group al-Shabab who stormed the mall on Sept. 21.
A former classmate of Dhuhulow's at Thor Heyerdahl High School said "The video I saw looks a lot like him." said the former classmate, who didn't want her name to be used because she was uncomfortable being associated with a terror investigation.
"He was a quiet guy," she said. "He was very committed to his religion, but not extreme. He brought a prayer mat to school."
