Kenyan securiy services have been praised for their speed and sucess in curbing the Dusit D2 siege that was a huge relief and team work from so many Kenyans full of love for one another.However the police have opened up on the tough barriers they went through during the mission.
Police officers said they discovered a stockpile of grenades and rounds of ammunition in a bulletproof room where the commander of the team was hiding before he was killed.
“It took us very long to break into the room because the armoured door was very difficult to break. When we finally did, the commander, who was the last person to be killed, had so many grenades and rounds of ammunition in the room,” said a senior police officer who was part of the operation.
Investigators are now probing the possibility that hotel employees could have facilitated the attackers before Tuesday. While some of the grenades and rounds of ammunition were on the floor, many more were found in different drawers wrapped up in hotel laundry bags.
Police believe the deadly weapons, several rounds of magazines and bombs, may have been brought into the hotel earlier.
“We suspect an inside job considering these people had been frequenting the place as they schemed the attack,” said another officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not the official police spokesperson.
The officers who battled the terrorists said their commander was well trained and seemed to understand the hotel very well
