The terrorist who participated in the killing of at least 14 people at DusitD2 complex in Riverside Drive, Nairobi, lived an ordinary life in Kiambu and loved listening to blaring Kenyan urban pop music from his Toyota Ractis whose unmuffled exhaust system gave its engine a loud roar.

Ali Salim Gichunge alias Idris or Farouk did not cut the image of a militant. He looked ordinary and loved a fine life.
