An off-duty member of the SAS emerged as a hero of the Nairobi siege yesterday, after he was credited with saving up to 100 lives.
The soldier was having coffee at the Westgate mall when it was attacked by Islamists on Saturday.
With a gun tucked into his waistband, he was pictured helping two women from the complex.
He is said to have returned to the building on a dozen occasions, despite intense gunfire.
A friend in Nairobi said: "What he did was so heroic. He was having coffee with friends when it happened.
"He went back in 12 times and saved 100 people. Imagine going back in when you knew what was going on inside."
Sources said the soldier was with the Special Air Service, or SAS. He cannot be named for security reasons.
The British Special Forces regularly train and operate out of Kenya, and have been involved in tracking UK citizens involved with hardline Islamists in Somalia and Yemen.

Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Down in Kenya where the Masai roam
And the grass grows tall on the veldt
In our old colonial home
We drank our bitters while the empire fell
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
One day the Mau Mau came
All we had was lost
In our old colonial home
Under the Southern Cross
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Down in Kenya where the Masai roam
And the grass grows tall on the veldt
In our old colonial home
We drank our bitters while the empire fell
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone
Leave my monkey alone

Were there two separate Brits or did the SAS get the credit due a former Royal Marine?

We'll see if the story checks out, but it sounds like a 4 y.o. British kid (wearing a I
NY t-shirt) told one of the terrorists off after they shot his mom in the thigh. He apologized and let them go.
