Canada Border Services Agency: The Prime Ministers Office confirmed Saturday night that Annemarie Desloges, a liaison officer with the Canada Border Services Agency, was among the victims, who included more than 150 people from toddlers to elderly who were wounded as bullets flew and grenades exploded in the hours-long horror, according to The Star. In the pre-dawn hours Sunday, security forces were still locked in a standoff with the gunmen at the five-storey Westgate mall, frequented by Western diplomats and expatriates as well as Kenyans. It was still unclear how many hostages were being held by the Al Qaeda-linked militants and Two Canadians, including a diplomatic staffer, are among at least 39 dead after masked gunmen opened fire in an upscale Nairobi mall in one of the most chilling terrorist attacks in East Africa since Al Qaeda blew up two U.S. embassies in 1998. The PMO statement did not name the second Canadian.
