'You’re a very bad man' how 4yr old confronted Kenyan mall gunman 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.
