The 2019 DusitD2 complex attack was a terrorist attack that occurred from 15 to 16 January 2019 in the Westlands area of Nairobi, Kenya, which left 22 civilians and all five terrorists dead. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Background

The Islamist militant group Al-Shabaab has been opposed to Kenyan involvement in the Somali Civil War.[ citation needed ] The terrorist group had previously attacked the suburb of Westlands during the 2013 Westgate shopping mall attack, which left 67 people dead. [5] In 2015, al-Shabaab terrorists were involved in mass shooting of Garissa University College students leaving 147 dead and many others injured. This incident was the country's worst terrorist attack since the 1998 United States embassy bombings, which left over 200 people dead.

Location

The attack occurred at the 14 Riverside Drive complex in Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya. [6] This is an upscale hotel and office complex which hosts the DusitD2 Hotel and the Commission on Revenue Allocation. [1] [2] Other clients of the complex, amongst others, include: Adam Smith International, Amadeus IT Group, LG Electronics, I & M bank, JHPiego, SAP East Africa and Cellulant Kenya Ltd. [7]

Attack

At 14:30 on 15 January 2019, a Toyota Ractis pulls into the driveway of the 14 Riverside Drive complex. Four of the attackers are inside, while the fifth attacker, Mahir Riziki, separately makes his way to the Secret Gardens Restaurant. He stands near the restaurant for about a minute before blowing himself up, killing seven patrons and hotel staff. [8] Simultaneously, the four other attackers ditch their car near the entrance of the complex, and begin opening fire. They throw grenades at nearby parked cars at the entrance gate, setting them alight. They split into groups of two, with the first group making it’s way to the Hanover office block, while the other group heads towards the Secret Garden Restaurant on the other side of the building, where the suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest. The gunmen regroup and arrive at the far end of the complex, killing six people. They then enter the DusitD2 Hotel, and open fire at the remaining guests inside. [6] Initial reports were of gunfire and two explosions at the hotel, with one originating from the suicide bomber and the other from the grenades thrown by the shooters. [4] The five attackers [4] arrived in two vehicles. One of the attackers entered the complex and detonated a suicide bomb adjacent to a restaurant. [9] After the blast, the remaining terrorists forced guards to open the gates of 14 Riverside Drive by shooting at them and lobbing grenades, as they made their way into the complex, igniting some vehicles parked in the parking bay. [10] [11] [12] The Recce company, the anti terrorism division of the Kenya police force, General Service Unit, were sent in to combat the militants. [2] [5] [11] Members of private security forces and unarmed individuals along with some off duty police officers were first to respond.[ citation needed ]

A British SAS operator, who was in the country to conduct training, responded to the melee and entered the complex. [13] Known by his nom-de-guerre, Christian Craighead, he wore a shield badge on his tactical vest, a balaclava over his face, while indicating an "Agent" insignia to bystanders. [14] [15] He was joined by Dan J. Prastalo, the Slovenian director of the Diplomatic Protective Services Tactical Response Unit (DPS-TRU). [13] [16] [15] Craighead led the group clearing each floor of the office and car park buildings. They were heard shouting call sign "Eagle Eagle Security Forces" as they tried to call out hostages that were hiding. Both individuals were seen on the mainstream media clips escorting groups of hostages and carrying wounded ones, before running back into the complex while the attackers were shooting down on them. [17] [18] Australian High Commission security detail also exchanged fire with the terrorists as they made their way into the complex, injuring one attacker. [10] While it had been thought that the attack had been neutralized after a few hours, gunfire and explosions were again heard early on 16 January. [19] Christian Craighead shot and killed two of the attackers and was awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross for his extreme bravery. [16] [20]

President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta initially said that 14 people had been killed; [6] [19] later on 16 January it was reported that 21 civilians and five attackers had been killed. [21] A year after the attack, on 15 January 2020, hotel nurse Noel Kidaliza, who was critically injured during the attack, died of her wounds at a hospital, bringing the death toll to 22. [22]

Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement that was released during the attack. [4] They claimed that the attack was "a response to US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel". [21] [23]

Perpetrators

Five men are believed to have carried out the massacre. Three of the attackers were Kenyan, while the other two were Somali. Within days of the attack, the Kenyan government had released the names of two of the attackers, while the other three weren't identified until December 2020 following Al-Shabaab's media wing, Al-Kataib, releasing a film showing them in the days prior to the attack. [24]

Ali Salim Gichunge (born 1995), also known as Abu Sakeena, was the operational leader of the attack. he was born in Isiolo to a Muslim Kikuyu family, with his father being a serving KDF soldier. [24] He studied at Hekima Primary from nursery to Standard Six. He sat his Kenyan Certificate of Primary Education exam in 2007 and scored 355 out of 500 possible marks. After graduating secondary school at Thuura Boys High School in 2011, he studied IT and was hired by a local hotel to mange its internet cafe. In early 2016, Gichunge informed his family that he had begun working at a construction site in Mombasa after being invited to do so by a friend, however the friend told the family a month later that he had lost all contact with him. Gichunge then told his family that he had begun studying Islam in Uganda. In 2017, he contacted his family saying that he was in Lamu to leave the country, but said he would return soon, however the family did not hear from him for two years. [25]

Mahir Khalid Riziki, (born 1994), also known as Jibril, was the suicide bomber who blew himself up at the Secret Garden Restaurant on 14 Riverside Drive. He was born and brought up in Majengo area of Mombasa, and was a known extremist with a history of violence. He had been a frequent attender at the Musa Mosque, a place commonly associated for nearly a decade as a key radicalization and recruitment center for Al-Shabaab, where he met Ramadhan Hamisi Kufungwa, a recruiter and member for Al-Shabaab. In October 2014, Mahir was implicated in the killing of a police officer in Mombasa and following a warrant for his arrest, he fled to Tanzania in November 2014. By early 2015 however, he had told his family that he was now in Somalia training with Al-Shabaab. [26] Just two days before the attack, on January 13, 2019, Riziki had re-entered Kenya through El-Wak in Mandera Country, and took a bus to Nairobi to link up with the attack cell leader, Ali Salim Gichunge and to obtain instructions on what his part in the attack would be. He blew himself up just 48 hours later. [27]

Osman Ahmed Hassan, (born 1992), also known as Azzam, was one of the gunman involved in the attacks. He was born in Kenya and was of the Degodia tribe. The video Al-Shabaab released in 2020 shows him talking with the other attackers in an apartment block in Nairobi, as a video of Osama Bin Laden plays in the background. [28]

Muhammed Adam Nur, also known as Farhaan Yare, was one of the gunmen involved in the attacks. He was born in Somalia and was of the Hadame tribe.

Abdulqani Arab Yusuf, also known as Farhaan Dheere, was born in Somalia and was of the Muhammed Zubayr sub clan of the Ogaden clan

Responsibility for the attack

Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attack shortly after in a statement released via Telegram by the AS-affiliated "Shahada News Agency". Soon after, Al-Shabaab released a two page statement in both Arabic and English titled "Jersualem will never be Judaized". The militant group said that it “carried out this operation – code named Operation ‘Jerusalem will never be Judaized’ – in accordance with the guidelines of Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahiri,” and claiming that the attack was executed due to the US recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Al-Shabaab stated that the external attack unit known as the "Saleh Nabhan battalion", named after the Al Qaeda operative killed in a drone strike in Somalia, was responsible. [29]

Aftermath

Nineteen Kenyan citizens, an American and a British-South African man died during the attack. A Kenyan woman died a year later after succumbing to her wounds, bringing the civilian death toll to 22. [30] [31]

Immediately after the incident concluded, the 14 Riverside Drive complex and its immediate environs were closed to public as police termed the area an active scene of crime. [32] Security agencies were able to trace the residence of the terror suspects to Kiambu, Mombasa and Nyeri counties. [9] [33] On 17 January, the Kenya Red Cross Society informed the public that all who had earlier been listed as missing had been accounted for. [34] The National Police Service was lauded for its well-organized response that saw close to 700 people being rescued from the hotel complex. [35] [34] On 19 January 2019, five people appeared in court accused of assisting in the terrorist attack. [36] On the same day, the Australian embassy denied allegations that one of the fatalities was an Australian. [37] Initially both Kenyan and Australian media houses had stated that one of the victims was an Australian citizen and was visiting his girlfriend in Kenya before his death in the attack. [38] [39]

In the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), the playable operator “Otter” is based on the British SAS Christian Craighead. [40] Craighead has written a book about his involvement in the incident which was refused express prior authority to publish which he sought to overturn in the courts, however, his appeal was dismissed.

At the same time, attackers fired two surface-to-air missiles at an Israeli charter plane. The Paradise Hotel was the only Israeli-owned hotel in the Mombasa area. The attacks were believed to be orchestrated by al-Qaeda operatives in Somalia in an attempt to disrupt the Israeli tourist industry on the African continent. Much speculation has occurred as to who the perpetrators are, but no complete list of suspects has been defined. The attack was the second al-Qaeda terrorist operation in Kenya, following the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Nairobi in 1998. Following the attack, the UN Security Council and other nations condemned the bombing.

There is a high crime rate in all regions of Kenya. Petty offences are the most common crime with stealing being the most reported crime. Robbery and theft are among the least cited criminal offences. Crime in Kenya is as low as in countries like Tunisia with a rating of 3.46 crimes per 100,000 people. However, it is important to note that crime in Kenya often goes unreported and police often lack the training or experience to effectively respond to crimes. Despite the reportedly somewhat low crime rate, Kenya has a big problem with organized crime and many gangs work with corrupt police officers and sometimes even the government. Kenya has a criminality score of 7.02 on the Organized Crime Index, the 16th most in the world, an improvement from 11th in 2021.

From late 2011 to 2014, Kenya experienced an upsurge in violent terrorist attacks. Kenyan government officials asserted that many of the murders and blasts were carried out by al-Shabaab in retaliation for Operation Linda Nchi, a coordinated military mission between the Somalian military and Kenyan military that began in October 2011, when troops from Kenya crossed the border into the conflict zones of southern Somalia. According to Kenyan security experts, the bulk of the attacks were increasingly carried out by radicalized Kenyan youth who were hired for the purpose. Kenya security officials also indicated that they were part of death squads, which carried out many of the killings under the orders of a government security council. By mid-2014, the cumulative attacks began affecting Kenya's tourism industry, as Western nations issued travel warnings to their citizens.

Aboud Rogo Mohammed was a Kenyan Muslim cleric. He was alleged to have been an Islamist extremist and was accused of arranging funding for the al-Shabaab militia in Somalia. He was shot dead in Kenya, and his death triggered protests and violence by hundreds of protestors. Rogo is the fifth alleged Islamic radical killed in Kenya in 2012. David Ochami, a Kenyan journalist, stated that Rogo had the oratory prowess of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and the logic of Egyptian ideologue Yusuf al Qaradawi.
