Additional charges have been filed against four suspects linked to the Westgate shopping mall attack.

The prosecution Thursday added three more charges against the accused.

 

The charges are conspiracy, being members of Al-Shabaab and being in possession of materials linked to the militant group.

The four denied the charges. The suspects had been charged with committing terrorist acts, harbouring a terrorist and being in the country illegally.

The suspects are Hussein Hassan Moustafa, Mohammed Ahmed Abdi, Liban Omar and Adan Abdikadir

During the Westgate attack, 67 people were killed and more than 200 others injured.
