Four men charged with aiding extremists in connection with Kenya shopping mall massacre have appeared in court.
At least 67 people died when gunmen from terror group al-Shabaab attacked the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi on September 21.
According to the Mirror, the four men are also accused of being in Kenya illegally.
They have been named as Mohammed Ahmed Abdi, Liban Abdullah, Adnan Ibrahim and Hussein Hassan.
