'You’re a very bad man' how 4yrold confronted Kenyan mallgunman who gave him chocolate &begged for forgiveness

A four-year-old British boy caught up in the
Kenya mall massacre showed astonishing
bravery by confronting a marauding gunman
who ended up begging for his forgiveness, UK
Daily Mail reports.
Elliot Prior, from Windsor, Berkshire, told
one of the terrorists that he was a 'very
bad man' as he protected his mother,
Amber, who had been shot in the leg, and
six-year-old sister Amelie. Incredibly, the
attacker took pity on the family and
bizarrely handed the children Mars bars
before telling them: 'Please forgive me,
we are not monsters.'
His story emerged as sporadic gunfire
continued to ring out from inside the
mall early today as Kenyan security forces
battled Al Qaeda-linked terrorists into a
fourth day.
Despite Kenyan police assurances that
they had taken control of
the building, a
security expert with contacts inside the
mall said at least 10 hostages were still
being held by a band of attackers,
possibly as many as 13.

Kenya's foreign minister Amina Mohamed
said 'two or three' Americans and one British
woman were among those who attacked the
Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi.
His mother, Amber, told of her family’s
terrifying escape from Al Shabaab terrorists
who butchered 62 people in the Nairobi
shopping centre.
The film producer had been queuing to buy
milk in Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Centre
when the militants struck.
She hid under a cold meat counter in the
Nakumatt supermarket for an hour-and-a-half
with her children beneath her before terrorists
finally found them and shot her in the thigh.
Elliot's uncle, Alex Coutts, told The Sun: 'They
had a lucky escape. The terrorists said if any of
the kids were alive in the supermarket they
could leave. 'Amber made the decision to
stand up and say "yes".'
'Then Elliot started arguing with them and
called them bad men. He was very brave.'
After discovering the advertising producer was
of French origin, the men began to plead with
her and claimed that the Muslim faith ‘was not
a bad one’.‘He told me I had to change my
religion to Islam and said “do you forgive us?
Do you forgive us?’, the mother told The
Independent.
‘Naturally, I was going to say whatever they
wanted and they let us go’.
Bizarrely, the terrorists handed the children
Mars bars before they fled with two other
children, including a 12-year-old boy who had
at first refused to leave his dead mother.
The fate of 20 others who had taken refuge
under the meat counter is unknown.
The family’s escape is particularly astonishing
in light of the indiscriminate slaughter of men,
women and children throughout the mall after
Al Shabaab launched their assault on Saturday.
