Mombasa terror attacks
Journalist Kelly Hartog describes the moment terrorists targeted Israeli tourists in Kenya
In 2002, journalist Kelly Hartog was on a press trip in Mombasa, in Kenya, when suicide bombers drove a car packed with explosives into the hotel where she was staying.
The attack killed 18 people and injured 80.
Almost at the same time, terrorists tried to bring down an Israeli charter jet using surface-to-air missiles – but narrowly missed.
Kelly tells Vicky Farncombe about her ordeal.
