Westgate Mall in Kenya
Yesterday, Reuters stated the al Shabaab terrorist siege at the
Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya was concluding as the military reported
having the shopping complex under control. However, a group of bumptious
terrorists joined Twitter and sent out tweets, as well as separate
emails to the press proclaiming otherwise, stating they were still in
the mall holding hostages and some of their "mujahadeen" had
escaped the mall and are loose in Nairobi.
The attack is unconscionable and reprehensible. It does not provoke
sympathy for the terrorists. 68 innocent people going about their
business were brutally killed. A person was seen rushing a child out of
the mall in a shopping cart, who appeared to be dead. Shoppers of all
ages laid out on the ground, covered in blood, killed by terrorists'
bullets.
The terrorists killed people from not only Kenya, but several other
nations as well, as Westgate is a popular tourist attraction in
Nairobi. The terrorists will never be able to complain again about
their alleged plight, after the horrible pictures of the innocents they
killed, were released to the public. The next time the U.S. government
sends drones and bombs you (terrorists) don't say squat.

Kenya says all hostages freed in al Shabaab mall
siege
NAIROBI | Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:49pm EDT - (Reuters) - Kenya said its
security forces had taken control of the Nairobi shopping mall where
Islamist fighters killed at least 62 people, and that police were doing
a final sweep of shops early Tuesday after the last of the hostages had
been rescued.
There was an eerie silence outside the mall after a day in which
gunfire and explosions were heard in the Westgate mall. A trickle of
survivors escaped the building throughout the day on Monday, but the
fate of people listed as missing was unclear. Somalia's al Qaeda-linked
al Shabaab group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which began
at lunchtime on Saturday. Kenyan officials say there were 10 to 15
attackers.
President Barack Obama offered U.S. support, saying he believed
Kenya - the scene of one of al Qaeda's first major attacks, in 1998,
and a neighbor of chaotic Somalia - would continue to be a regional
pillar of stability...
