LUNCH
He condoled the families of the people who lost their lives in the attack.
Feisal and Abdalla were catching up over lunch near their office Adam Smith International located at the Cavendish building’s third floor.
Their employer in a statement confirmed their death writing, “Both young men worked on the Somalia Sustainability Fund, a project managed by ASI on behalf of multiple donors to bring peace and prosperity to Somalia through more than 100 local community initiatives.”
EVACUATED
The company confirmed that it evacuated 50 staff and consultants from the office when the attack started but the two were at the restaurant.
Adam Smith in their statement stated that this was the second time they lost staffers as in 2013, an adviser James Thomas died during the Westgate Mall terror attack.
Meanwhile, the family and friends of Feisal and Abdalla have scheduled the burial for 4:30pm Wednesday at Langata cemetery.
