A court in Kenya has found two men guilty of helping Islamist militants to attack an upmarket shopping mall in 2013.

At least 67 people died in the assault by al-Shabab on the Westgate shopping complex in the capital, Nairobi.

The state said the four militants who carried out the attack were found dead in the shopping centre’s rubble.

The militants occupied the mall for four days, in one of the deadliest attacks by al-Shabab in Kenya.

A third man was found not guilty on all counts of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act.

More than 140 witnesses testified in the case. The accused denied conspiring to commit terrorism.
