Kenyan government sources have been telling journalists that the attackers rented shop property at the mall ahead of their assault, smuggling in weapons and ammunition (tweets Sky's Alex Crawford).

The Financial Times also has more on this (paywall), quoting a senior government adviser who said that the authorities believe the assault was "meticulously planned".

He is quoted as saying:

They rented a shop and have slowly been smuggling in equipment; how do you explain them being able to hold fire from Saturday, Sunday, Monday – to sustain for all those hours. There was a timetable to be smuggling those things in there.

I can give you any ID of your choice. Plus it is Kenya, just give a tiny bribe and you can get what you want.
