After almost seven years of waiting, finally two accused persons charged in the Westgate attack case have been found guilty of conspiracy to commit a terrorist act.
The two are Mohammed Ahmed Abdi and Hussein Hassan Mustafa.
However, one of the accused Liban Abdullahi Omar has been acquitted for lack of evidence.
Liban was a brother to one of the attackers and chief Magistrate Francis Andayi ruled that the communication between him and his brother does not prove that he conspired to attack Westgate Mall.
More than 140 witnesses testified in the case. The accused denied conspiring to commit terrorism.
The prosecution has asked the court to hold on to the issue of sentencing to allow the victims of the attack to write victim statements.
The defence said the second accused who has been acquitted is a refugee and his alien card should be released to him.
They want him handed over to the UNCHR.
