A British SAS hero jumped in to fight a group of Islamist terrorists who launched an attack on a luxury hotel in Kenya, killing 14 people, on Tuesday.
Photos from the scenes yesterday show the off-duty Special Forces personnel with combat gear over a casual jeans and purple shirt storming the building and rescuing civilians.
Tuesday's terror attack at a hotel and office complex in Nairobi saw four gunmen kill 14 people, including an unnamed Briton and a 40-year-old U.S. businessman, after detonating car bombs outside.

The British SAS soldier was reportedly in Nairobi to train Kenyan Special Forces when a request for help went out to local forces.
'He was there training and mentoring Kenyan forces when the shout went up, so they went in,' an insider told The Sun.
'During the operation he fired off some rounds – it's safe bet he hit his target – the SAS don't miss.
'He is a long serving member of the Regiment, there is no doubt his actions saved lives.'
The Sun's source claimed the British SAS-man was joined by US Navy Seals in aiding Kenyan Special Forces yesterday.
When contacted by MailOnline, the Ministry of Defence declined to comment on the report.

President Kenyatta said that 14 civilians have been confirmed dead and that more than 700 people had been evacuated to safety during the attack.
This morning, it emerged that 40-year-old U.S. citizen Jason Spindler, who survived the 9/11 terror attack on World Trade Center in 2001, was among the dead.
He was the CEO of I-DEV International, a management strategy and investment firm that is based in the Kenyan capital. The British casualty, understood to be of dual British and South African nationality, has not been named.
Another British citizen was injured in the attack and is receiving care, the Foreign Office confirmed today.
London-based company Adam Smith International also said two employees were killed in the attack.
Abdalla Dahir and Feisal Ahmed were killed on the terrace of a restaurant in the complex where the company has Nairobi offices, the company said in a statement.
