The Kenyan government sseems to lie with impunity to its people. Last night they said the siege was over- terrorists had been "neutralized" and hostages freed- just doing a little mop up and clearing building. (Same govt claimed there was no fire while on CNN live shots showed huge flames)
Yet- this morning AP reports
The Associated Press @AP 54m RAW VIDEO: More gunfire and an explosion are heard around the #Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya: http://apne.ws/17ZeOm9 -MM

” wife of a U.S. diplomat working for the U.S. Agency for International Development was killed. “
What difference does it make?

The attack comes after a civil war within al-Shabaab that apparently resulted in the death of the American traitor Omar Hammami... Revenge?

Update: Dont forget that al-Shabaab has done a lot of recruiting in the Twin Cities among the ex-pat community here, and a number of young men remain missing. The FBI got quite a bit of cooperation from the Somalis here (no thanks to CAIR) as they tried to keep their sons out of the conflict that they had fled... I don't want people involved in blood feuds to be citizens of the United States. Close the door...

This is from today (after it’s supposed to be over)
Ajay Patel, Nairobi, told the BBC: “I was driving home from a meeting, but was stuck in traffic at the main entrance to the mall. I heard shooting and looked in my rear-view mirror. I saw three men with scarves over their heads jumping out of a Toyota pro box two vehicles behind me and start shooting indiscriminately.”

This is nuts. I’m reading the Westgate twitter feed- have to wade through junk but people are rightfully confused and angry - they know they’re being lied to.
From BBC:
1340: Kenyan Police are asking anyone who abandoned their vehicles at the Nakumatt supermarket within the Westgate centre to come and collect them.
Meanwhile:
12m Vehicle owners like me who left them at Ukay getting turned away. The entire area around #Westgate is still under lockdown

Ohio Shopping Mall Terror Suspect To Plead Guilty (happened back in 2003)
A Somali immigrant has tentatively agreed to plead guilty to plotting with a convicted al-Qaida terrorist to blow up a shopping mall the day after Thanksgiving 2003, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.
Nuradin Abdi, 35, was due in federal court in Columbus, Ohio, to enter his plea, according to the two officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the appearance had not yet happened.
Abdi was expected to plead guilty to conspiring to provide material support to terrorists, an admission coming a week before the expected Aug. 6 start of his trial.
Abdis attorney, Mahir Sherif, confirmed the last-minute hearing before U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley to discuss a possible plea.
If it works out, then hell plead, Sherif said. He would not give details or comment further.
The Justice Department accused Abdi of suggesting the plan to attack an unidentified Columbus mall during an August 2002 coffee shop meeting with now-convicted terrorist Iyman Faris and a third suspect, Christopher Paul. Faris is serving 20 years in a maximum-security federal prison in Florence, Colo., for his role in an al-Qaida plot to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge. Faris scouted the bridge and told al-Qaida its plans wouldnt work, court papers have said.
Federal agents arrested Abdi the morning of Nov. 28, 2003, the day after Thanksgiving, out of fear the attack would be carried out on the heavy shopping day. He was arrested at 6 a.m. while leaving his home for morning prayers.
Prosecutors say Abdi gave stolen credit card numbers to a man accused of buying gear for al-Qaida, and lied on immigration documents to visit a jihadist training camp.
Abdis attorneys said he was merely upset at the war in Afghanistan and reports of civilians killed in bombings by the U.S.-led invasion. They have said the stolen numbers were never used and the Justice Department never alleged what organization they believed was running the camp, what Abdi intended to do with the training, or whether he ever actually went.
Prosecutors accused Paul, who was arrested in April, of joining al-Qaida and plotting to bomb European tourist resorts and U.S. government facilities and military bases overseas.

This garbage makes you want to jack slap the next liberal or bleeding heart that calls Muslims people of peace. I am sick and tired of our limp wristed leadership that keeps calling them that. Oh, Christians are OPEN SEASON for ridicule, hate, lying about, screaming obscenities at, etc., etc., for heaven forbid that anyone should say anything wrong about a Muslin. They are all simply afraid of Muslims. They think if you just talk to them, they will become friends. They refuse to read our Christian Bible which promotes love. They also refuse to read the murdering language of the Kotex-ran that promotes murder, beheadings, rape, etc. of all non-believers. The Christian Bible simply tells unbelievers that the are destined for the Lake of Fire if they refuse Jesus free will offer of grace. Don’t believe the Kotex-ran, well, that will cost you your head.

“...They are all simply afraid of Muslims. They think if you just talk to them, they will become friends....”
Maybe. But I tend to think it’s more that they’re just allies against a common enemy - Christians and Jews.
The libtards are too stupid to realize that once that alliance of convenience - “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” - ends, THEY’RE next on the muzzie chopping block.
Or - probably closer to their warped reality - they probably assume they can keep Achmed under control.
Good luck with that.
