One victim of Nairobi attack confirmed as American Jewish 9/11 survivor
One person killed in the terror attack yesterday in Nairobi is identified as Jason Spindler, an American Jew who survived the 9/11 attacks and volunteered for the Peace Corps.
In an interview with NBC News, Spindler’s mother Sarah Sandler says he “was trying to make positive change in the third world in emerging markets.”
“It is with a heavy heart that I have to report that my brother, Jason Spindler passed away this morning during a terror attack in Nairobi, Kenya. Jason was a survivor of 9/11 and a fighter. I am sure he gave them hell!” Spindler’s brother Jonathan wrote on Facebook, according to CNN.
