see mainNairobi Shopping Mall Terrorist Attack
September 21, 2013 Somalia based Al Shabab gunmen led by a woman fire AK-47s into the air and at people at Nigeria's most modern mall. They announced that they would only attack non-Muslims, but shot at some who did not adequately pass their tests of Koranic knowledge. Compared to previous shopping mall attacks in Europe and North America which typically had only one lone gunman with no obvious motive and only occasionally involved a gunman with Islamic connections, these people and Al Shabab boldly proclaimed their killing mission and the terrorist organization (which probably indicates they are hiding that somebody even worse is really behind it) 24 hours and 66 deaths later, they were still terrorizing the mall.
CNN: Three of the attackers at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, are from the United States, according to sources within the terror group Al-Shabaab.
The Americans are among nine people listed on a since-shuttered Twitter account, the sources said. Other names include two individuals from Somalia and one each from Canada, Finland, Kenya and the United Kingdom, according to the list. They range in age from 20 to 27 years old.
Two of the Americans are from Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, and the other is from Kansas City, Missouri, according to the list.

Somali group al-Shabaab confirmed to Channel 4 News directly that they were behind the attack. They also posted the following message on their Twitter feed on Saturday evening. The group said it had killed "over 100" inside the shopping centre, and said the attack was "retributive justice".
The attack at #WestgateMall is just a very tiny fraction of what Muslims in Somalia experience at the hands of Kenyan invaders. #Wetsgate— HSM Press Office (@HSM_Press) September 21, 2013
Since our last contact, the Mujahideen inside the mall confirmed to @HSM_Press that they killed over 100 Kenyan kuffar & battle is ongoing— HSM Press Office (@HSM_Press) September 21, 2013
What Kenyans are witnessing at #Westgate is retributive justice for crimes committed by their military, albeit largely miniscule in nature— HSM Press Office (@HSM_Press) September 21, 2013
It later posted on Twitter that only "kuffar", ie. non-Muslims, were targeted in the attack, and that Muslims had been "escorted out".
Kenyan security forces have arrested one of the gunmen, the Kenyan Presidency said on Twitter, whilst several other assailants are said to be pinned down.
The arrested gunman died from bullet wounds, Kenya's presidency says.
Only Kuffar were singled out for this attack. All Muslims inside #Westgate were escorted out by the Mujahideen before beginning the attac
Death count: France said two of its citizens were killed, and Canada said two Canadians died, including a 29-year-old diplomat. A Chinese woman was also killed, China's official news agency said.

KENYA CALLS IN ISRAELI SPECIAL FORCES TO HELP END JIHAD SIEGE IN MALL
Muslims slaughter non-Muslims in popular Kenyan mall
At the request of the Kenyan government, “Israeli special forces now operating to try and end Nairobi Mall siege." It's interesting to watch how the free world responds in a post-American Obama world.
Among those killed yesterday in the jihad attack against Kenya by the devout Muslim group, al-Shabab, were a Canadian diplomat, the Kenyan president’s nephew and his fiancé, and Ghana’s leading poet. Three British, two French, one Australian and one Chinese citizens were also confirmed dead.
