A terror group linked to al Qaeda released an online video Saturday in which the group appears to call for attacks on Western malls.
Islamic terrorist group al-Shabaab specifically named the Mall of America in Minnesota, the West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada, and London's Oxford Street.
Federal law enforcement officials told CBS News that they are investigating the video.
In 2013, the Somali-based group claimed responsibility for an attack on an upscale shopping mall in Kenya.
More than 60 people were killed in the four-day siege when attackers stormed the Westgate Mall in Nairobi.

Ever since 9/12/01, I have been more than certain that the Mall Of America was at least a fallback target on 9/11/01, based on a narrative provided by two of my closest friends.
More than that, I will not say.

Well, duh.
The solution is armed and trained citizens.

From the headline it appeared they may have been talking about “right wing extremists.”

Malls are being phased out in the West.
Al Shabaab apparently didn’t get the memo.

Why do we have Wahhabi al qaeda in our country? They are going to kill women and children soon.

Only urban ‘teens’ will be hit in Malls. Who else goes?
To: Organic Panic
Senior citizen mall walkers. Also, employees.

When it happens, and it will, it will happen in a gun-free zone.

If they are dumb enough to attack American women and children in a mall then you will see a total sea change on the uninformed voters’ opinion on this religious war. Don’t piss off the women.

Too late. The “teens” already have malls on lock.
To: ButThreeLeftsDo
The next attack will not be in a mall but in either a school, a hospital or an assisted living home.
All innocent and defenseless victims with lots of publication value on nightly TV.

I’m flabbergasted and thankful to the Lord that an attack on a mall has not happened in America yet.
