The FBI is investigating claims that up to five of the terrorists who killed 68 people in a despicable attack on an upmarket Kenyan shopping mall are Americans, as the Kenyan military reported that it had rescued hostages and secured 'most parts' of the center following the two day standoff.
Sources close to terror group Al Shabaab told CNN on Sunday that nine extremists had been named on their Twitter account along with their nationalities and allegedly included U.S. citizens. The account has now been suspended by the site.
And just before sundown Kenya Defence Forces posted on its Twitter account that 'most of the hostages hostages have been rescued' and that security forces had taken control of 'most parts of the building' - however, the operation is still continuing and only a small number remained under the control of the militants.
The dramatic assault, which began shortly before sundown, came as two helicopters circled the Westgate mall, with one skimming very close to the roof.
They added that four military personnel were injured in the operation and officials attached to the defense forces did not elaborate how the hostages were freed or if the extremists were in custody.
Some gunmen are reported to be currently holed up in a supermarket in the shopping mall complex.
The revelation that Americans could be involved in the terror atrocity came after a large explosion today rocked the upmarket mall where as many as 15 Islamic extremists had been holding the hostages a day after attacking it, killing at least 68 and injuring at least 175 people - including five Americans.

I know a Kenyan who off’d “seals” right after the OBL raid...
Do they have (real) Birth Certificates?
this is weird
Our prisons are huge Islamic recruiting and training centers. Why is this a surprise?
No surprise with the First Moslem in the White House
helping al Qaeda world wide while LYING TO AMERICA
protected by his treasonous MSM.
At least some jobs we give to Americans instead of those overeducated Indians in Bangalore!
We don’t know if these are prison recruits or simply Islamists who we granted asylum that immigrated to the U.S. if they were Americans.
Anyone who thinks we don’t have radicalized Islamic centers in our country is foolish. This will happen here on our soil again and likely sooner rather than later. When it does we can directly thank our foolish immigration policies.
resettled Somali’s are not “American”
They call them “Americans” because it takes the emphasis off of “muslim”.
That, and there is a huge push to devalue what it means to be an “American”. Open borders does that. Wide open immigration for people who will never assimilate (like these Somalis) does that too. Calling Somalis “Americans” does that too.

No doubt from Minneapolis and Nashville.
Centers of backward Somali culture in the USA.
Kill them dead.
They aren’t Americans in my mind or heart.
You've got to wonder.
Five of the attackers may have had ties to America. They might even be American citizens under our loosey-goosey citizenship on the cheap policies. But they certainly aren't Americans.
It reads like an episode of NCIS LA. Bellisario has had several episodes over the years of Somali Immigrant kids being recruited by African based jihad is. In one arc they actually wind up in LA seeking to nerve gas a convention center. Life imitates art
And here I thought these Muslim 3rd worlders enriched our society. It’s what the political elite tells us anyway.
American by way of Somalia?
Obama must be really proud of his many many Muslim sons doing his dirty work for him..a few of these scum bags are from Minnesota, I have no idea why the hell Minnesota has such a huge Muslim population but has anyone seen Keith Ellison lately..just saying
And so I hear, the ELCA, Evangelical Lutheran Church of America sponsored a lot of these people.
The fed gov resettled the somalians in Minnesota
