67 people died in attack at Westgate Mall

A Norwegian citizen may be at the heart of the terror attack that killed at least 67 people at Kenya's Westgate Mall last month, counter-terrorism police in the Scandinavian nation say.

Martin Bernsen, head of information at the Norwegian Police Security Service, confirmed to USA TODAY Friday that a Somali-born national of Norway was under investigation for suspected involvement in the four-day siege at the shopping mall.

He said the suspect's name has not been released.

However, the BBC and New York Times both identified the suspect — one of four thought to have carried out the audacious attack — as Hassan Abdi Dhuhulow, 23.

It is alleged that Dhuhulow is one of the gunmen seen in dramatic new surveillance footage released today that shows panicked crowds attempting to flee as armed men storm the shopping complex late last month.

Separately, officials in Kenya, speaking on condition of anonymity to the Associated Press on Friday, said that two boxes of charred body parts have been delivered to the city morgue, and that four AK-47 assault rifles were found alongside the remains.

It is not clear if the remains are those of two of the gunmen, although initial indications are that it is a strong possibility.

The Al-Shabaab terror network has claimed responsibility for the attack on the outskirts of Kenya's capital city.

CNN reported, without naming Dhuhulow, that the Norwegian citizen is believed to have ties to Mohamed Abdikadir Mohamed — known also as Ikrima — who CNN said is regarded as one of the most dangerous commanders in the Somali terror group.
