WESTGATE, once Kenya's smartest shopping mall, is now a ruin pored over by forensic experts. A children's trampoline from the upstairs car-park sits atop the ground-floor rubble at the collapsed rear of the building. Buried underneath are the answers to some of the questions lingering two weeks after an attack by jihadists belonging to Somalia's Shabab group left at least 67 people dead, according to the local Red Cross. Another 39 are still reported to be missing. The aftermath threatens to knock a hole in east Africa's biggest economy. The four-day siege ended when Kenyan security forces set off explosives inside Westgate, demolishing the back third of the mall and crushing the surviving attackers hiding in a supermarket strongroom. Early estimates put the number of attackers as high as 15, of whom five, according to the Kenyan authorities, were killed. But they now admit they have yet to recover all of the bodies. Officials say nine police and soldiers were killed in the battle to regain control of the mall from the jihadists but other security sources put the figure at closer to a dozen. Kenya's initial wave of patriotism in response to the murder spree has been replaced by confusion and suspicion, made worse by the revelation that some security services took time off from fighting terrorists to loot the mall. The decision by Uhuru Kenyatta, Kenya's president, to appoint an inexperienced technocratic cabinet after winning an election in March now looks ill-judged. For instance, Joseph Ole Lenku, a hotel manager who was made interior minister, appeared to be overwhelmed during the crisis. The government must fast regain confidence, since tourism, which accounts for more than 12% of GDP and 7% of foreign direct investment, is likely to suffer. Kenyan tour operators have reported few cancellations, but their counterparts in Tanzania say they have had a surge of interest since the attack. Moody's, a ratings agency, expects Kenya's GDP growth, previously forecast at 6% this year, to dip by half a point. Just as worrying would be the departure of expatriate workers, if companies that have flocked to Nairobi choose to relocate their regional headquarters elsewhere in east Africa. Kenya's stockmarket and currency can weather a single mass atrocity but a repetition might cause both to plummet. Kenya's authorities must now decide whether to meet domestic demands for tougher action against the Shabab, in the knowledge that a wider war may be just what the group wants in the wake of the Westgate attack. Linked to al-Qaeda, it has vowed to "strike Kenyans where it hurts the most, turn their cities into graveyards." Mr Kenyatta's policy will be complicated by his own impending trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where he has been charged with masterminding violence in 2007-08 after a disputed election that left 1,300-odd people dead. The court gave his deputy, William Ruto, who is being tried in a separate but related case, a brief adjournment to return to Kenya during the crisis, but it has since called him back. The tribunal bared its teeth on October 2nd when it disclosed that it had issued an arrest warrant for Walter Barasa, a Kenyan journalist whom the prosecution accuses of bribing witnesses to withdraw. The government must now choose whether to arrest Mr Barasa and send him to The Hague. Its decision may reveal how far it intends to co-operate with the court in its prosecution of Kenya's senior people.
