New CCTV footage has emerged from inside the Nairobi
shopping mall showing how the attackers calmly shot people before taking
time out to pray.
The video shows shoppers running away from the gunmen and dropping to the floor as bullets fly through the air.
At one point an injured man, who is bleeding heavily, is seen trying to
pull himself to safety before apparently being shot again and then
dying.
The silent video is taken from a number of CCTV cameras around the
upmarket Westgate Mall in Kenya's capital and was obtained by CNN.

It appears that the footage was taken on September 21, the first day of a four-day siege, which left at least 67 people dead.
The attackers are also shown taking in turns to pray in what appears to be a store room.
Another section shows two militants casually walking through a
supermarket while firing their guns and then talking on their mobile
phones.
A woman with two children and pushing another in a shopping trolley are
seen walking past a line of tills before a teenage girl follows them
with a gunman behind her pointing the way.
It is believed they were all eventually released.
The al Qaeda-linked group al Shabaab claimed the attack was in retaliation for Kenyan military operations in Somalia.
Five of the attackers were killed by security forces.
