And they took 15 of these terrorists alive — why??? Only 3 were killed. Why are they still alive???

Civilized men have to make exceptions... these men should have been killed on the spot.

Take off and nuke them from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Thaks for the updates. There’s been nothing about Westlake in the MSM.

They want to bury it deep. Christmas shopping season is upon us and the merchant class does not want us to think the “unbelievable” could happen here.

“Kenya names 4 jihadists involved in Westgate mall assault”
By BILL ROGGIO

October 5, 2013 4:06 PM

The Kenyan military has named four members the Shabaab suicide assault team that attacked the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya two weeks ago. Among the four named Shabaab members is a Sudanese man who is said to have led the team. No Westerners have been named so far.

From Reuters

Major Emmanuel Chirchir, the spokesman for the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), named the four as Abu Baara al-Sudani, Omar Nabhan, Khattab al-Kene and Umayr.

“I confirm these were the terrorists. They all died in the raid,” Chirchir told Reuters, citing the findings of the KDF and national intelligence bodies.

SNIPPET: “It is unclear if Kenyan forces have captured or recovered the bodies of other members of the assault team that attacked the Westgate. Between 10 and 15 fighters, split between several teams, are thought to have executed the attack, but there are credible reports that at least two fighters may have changed clothes and escaped during the confusion of the attack. Additionally, the Kenyan government claimed that nine people who are thought to be involved in the attack are in custody, but it is unclear if they were involved in the fighting or are part of the logistics and support network.”

This is similar to what they did at the Mumbai massacre. Westerners were sexually mutilated.

“Column: Terror Attacks by Any Other Name”

by IPT News • Oct 15, 2013 at 1:08 pm

SNIPPET: “In Nairobi, well-armed gunmen stormed a shopping mall intending to kill as many people as possible. They asked victims about their religion, sparing the lives of Muslim shoppers.

At least 67 people were killed in the attack. The world rightly sees this as an act of terrorism.

Six years earlier, a well-armed gunman stormed a shopping mall in Salt Lake City, intending to kill as many people as possible. Witnesses say he shouted “Allahu Akbar!” — or “Allah is greatest!” as he opened fire, killing five people before being shot by an off-duty police officer.

Described as a religious Muslim, the gunman reportedly bragged of a jihadist grandfather and attended a mosque suspected of radicalizing him.

Sulejmen Talovic’s February 2007 attack is not classified as a terrorist attack, but rather cast as “the act of a madman.” In a New York Post column Sunday, writer Paul Sperry wonders why. And he points out that fears of a terrorist attack on an American mall, based on the Kenya attack by the Islamist terrorist group al-Shabaab, ignore the fact that such attacks already have happened here.”

“Pain, loss and hope”

BY JULIA LYON
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE
PUBLISHED MARCH 4, 2007 12:56 AM

SNIPPET: “But it was closing time at Trolley Square, and they were told to come back. The next day, Feb. 12, Talovic would kill five people, wound four and die at the hands of a police SWAT team.”

“British Al Qaeda ‘supergrass’ turns on jihadists and is helping track down Kenya mall massacre gunmen”

By LIZZIE EDMONDS
PUBLISHED: 14:23 EST, 20 October 2013 | UPDATED: 04:22 EST, 21 October 2013

SNIPPET: “It is hoped that Warsame’s links to al-Qaeda will help intelligence officials track down ‘white widow’ Samantha Lewthwaite, pictured

Warsame, who gained asylum in Britain 13 years ago, previously helped the US in the assassination of one of al-Qaeda’s spiritual chiefs in 2011 - Anwar al-Awlaki.

He is also thought to have helped in detaining two other alleged British extremists.

Officials in the West have said the man’s work - described in American court papers as ‘high-level, international terrorist operatives’ - as an ‘intelligence watershed’.

Warsame’s role in the fight against terror has emerged in court documents as well as the testimony of an informant gained by The Sunday Times.

A British security source told the newspaper: ‘It’s hard to overstate the importance of what Warsame has been able to tell the Americans, which they have shared fully with us.’”

“MEMRI’s Behind-The-Scenes Role In Twitter’s Shutdown Of Accounts Belonging To Designated Terrorists: The Case Of Al-Qaeda Affiliate Al-Shabaab And The Westgate Mall Attack”

By: Steven Stalinsky and R. Sosnow*

SNIPPET: “When the Somali Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Shabaab Al-Mujahideen launched its September 21, 2013 attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, it had an important tool at its disposal for disseminating information about its actions and its ideology – the microblogging service Twitter. Al-Shabaab tweeted step-by-step details of the attack, from taking credit for it and explaining its reasons to releasing information about its killing of over 60 civilians, to the names and nationalities of its fighters participating in the operation, and more – all in real time. During the attack, and as soon as the media began reporting that Al-Shabaab not only had a Twitter account but was actively tweeting during the attack, Twitter shut it down; Al-Shabaab then moved rapidly through a series of official and unofficial accounts and handles to continue to get its message out.

With the Westgate attack, the threat of designated terrorists, including Al-Qaeda affiliates, using Twitter has finally grabbed the world’s attention.”
