Don't know if you're paying attention to the events in Kenya, but one of the terrorists was apparently British.

I guess we'll know in the coming days, but it seems like a lot of the terrorists are coming from Britain.

The Somali militant group al-Shabab says it carried out the attack on the upmarket Westgate shopping centre in response to Kenyan military operations in Somalia.

The group claimed that a 24-year-old man from London was one of the attackers. The al-Shabab Twitter account published a list of six people who took part in the attack before it was suspended.

It is a shocking attack in Kenya. It is being reported in the UK that one of the master minds of the attack may be Samantha Lewthwaite, known as the White Widow. She is a Muslim convert who was married to one of the 7/7 bombers.
Survivors of the attack have reported that one of the terrorists was a woman who was shouting instructions in Arabic to her accomplices.
I saw a mixture of a child that was allowed to live standing over the body of her mother. The child was holding a chocolate bar which was given to her by her mothers murderers.
Another survivors says that anyone who knew the name of the Prophets mother was allowed to walk free.

Reports are saying two or three Americans were involved in the attack in addition to one Briton.

Remember the attack on the oil complex in Algeria? Two Canadians took part in that.

Diversity has certainly done wonders for the West, and the rest of the world.

Here's more information about the attackers:

Bloodthirsty jihadists who stormed a Kenyan mall played a sick quiz game with victims, killing those failing to name the Prophet Muhammad’s mother and sparing those who could.

On a yearly basis appr. 5000 Dutch people travel to Saudi. Lets see they protest against this...so far no protests have been seen against these kind of actions.

The siege appears to have been mishandled by the Kenyan authorities on a big scale. It has been reported that the Kenyans were offered assistance during the siege from the British and the Israelis but they chose to handle the situation themselves. I don't know how true these reports are.
From the reports that there were at least 15 terrorists involve, CCTV shown this morning on Sky TV shows only 4 men prowling around the Mall armed with AK47s.
Interpol are now profiling the terrorists which suggests they have escaped. The Kenyans have certainly not confirmed they have arrested anyone nor found any bodies.
What happened to the hostages left in the Mall?
I saw pictures of the Kenyans firing mortars into the Mall and the interior of the Mall finally collapsed after a major fire. Had the terrorists escaped at this point and the hostages left to die in the Mall?
The Kenyans have a lot of questions to answer.

One American said to be confirmed:

CNN) -- A spokesman for the Kenya Defense Forces has identified four terrorists who took part in the deadly Nairobi mall attack last month.

They are: Khattab al-Kene, an American Somali; Abu Baara al-Sudani, from Sudan; Omar Nabhan, from Kenya; and a man identified only as Umayr.

It was not clear what Khattab al-Kene's name may have been in the United States.

The four died when the part of the mall they were in collapsed, Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir said.

The charred bodies of the four are undergoing DNA verification, Chirchir said.

...

The Islamic militant group Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility. Sources within the group said as many as three attackers were from the United States, two were from Somalia, and the others were one each from Canada, Finland, Kenya and the United Kingdom.

How does a person become an American Somali?

It is all a load of nonsense, the Kenyan Authorities have no idea who was involved, and when you look at what has happened at the Mall, who were the ones that looted all of the shops??????????????????????????????

Just because a person gets an American / British Passport, I am sorry to say that this does not mean that they represent the country.

I have heard that the Kenyan Police are all wearing new Converse trainers.

Almost every store was apparently robbed by Kenyan soldiers and police.

Third world does not begin to describe the country.

When I study Caliph Abu Bakar, Omar, Usman & Ali's life who have been into physical Jihad most of their lives and compare it to known Jihadist activist of recent era I get confused. Think tanks of some comminities have implemented and generated a thought using media and news which have totally demolished the real meanings and perceptions of Jihad.

Does any muslim especially arab still remember what Jihad actually means?
