Nairobi Terror Attack

[Stívarðr Reynitré]

Three guesses who perpetrated this...


Gunmen in Nairobi have opened fire inside one of the Kenyan city's smartest shopping centres in an apparent terror attack, with reports of at least 22 killed and dozens wounded.The shooting began at the Westgate Shopping Mall at around lunchtime, and it was not immediately clear who was involved. The gunmen were thought to have taken seven people hostage, throwing grenades as they launched their attack."It is a possibility that it is an attack by terrorists, so we are treating the matter very seriously," said Mutea Iringo, the principal secretary in the Ministry of Interior.

I am more surprised what take so long for Al Shabaab pulls this crap in Kenya.

[Condottiere 40K]

That is true, considering the large gaps in Kenyan border and littoral security.

Another interesting thing about Horn of Africa is that Somalia finally looks not like a failed state anymore, at least for this year.

Looks may be deceiving. Federalization and the lack of strong central authority may be an invitation to defeat in detail.

As long as it does not continue like a war hellhole with anarchism running wild it is all fine.

Somalia's militant group al-Shabaab is claiming responsibility for the attack on a Nairobi mall on Saturday that has killed at least 30 people, saying it was retribution for Kenyan forces' 2011 push into Somalia. The group threatened more attacks.

Like the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Shabaab seem to be hell bent on attacking the weak in response to their reversal of fortune.

I disagree. The government relies on unpopular foreign troops to control major cities while Al shadaab still controls countryside

[Hetman Khmelnytsky]

Just heard that on the news moments ago, just like those Muslim rebels in Zamboanga in the Philippines.

That is like saying Al Shabaab is popular...

"I think we all know who did this. The Dutch..."



"But M'Lord Herby you say, it was the Somalis. Well, that simply won't fly my boy.
We both know the Somalis don't have the stomach or the cunning.
No, this was the work of one man. That Boorish bastard Duquesne."

At least three of the terrorists seem to have Swedish citizenship.

Shocking that this is happening in a shopping mall.Look at the guy with no body armour showing the soldiers how it is done.Armed with a hand gun while the soldiers have machine gun rifles hide.I cant post the other images as they are too graphic.

[Gatsby]

So now we basically have a gun battle still going on in the mall? Do we have any idea about the number of perpetrators still resisting or military casualties?

Aminah or something to that effect. Which is a damned stupid thing to know. It's not like she's the Virgin Mary (at least I don't have to worry about Catholic terrorists).

I would know that Buddha's mother was Maya. She got fisted by an elephant in a dream or something. That's noteworthy.

Who the hell is Aminah? Just some bint who had a notorious liar for a son.
