Amid Al-Shabaab terror threats officials reveal the FBI has been staging mock attacks in US malls for nearly two years to test readiness
After a recent terror threat on an American mall, an official has revealed that the United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation has been staging mock attacks in U.S. shopping centers for nearly two years to test their readiness.
The secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson recently warned shoppers at Minnesota's Mall of America to remain vigilant after a new terrorist video from Al-Shabaab -- An Al-Qaeda-linked militant group out of Somalia -- threatened an attack on the iconic mall.
But, an official told CNN that the FBI has been preparing for such an attack for nearly two years, since the militant group led a siege at a Kenyan mall, resulting in more than 60 deaths, CNN reports.

Maybe they should concentrate on the criminals in the parking lot.

Maybe the FBI should investigate black and leftist mobs, who stormed the Mall of American a few weeks ago, vandalized the place, attacked and intimidated paying customers, and threw merchandize off the shelves.

You mean the conservative patriotic Christians? The FBI director has already started with this.

So, with all of that money spent on preparedness there should be no problems.

If they are staging “mock attacks” they are doing an excellent job of ensuring shoppers remain very calm and that the only “action” is on the credit cards! LOL.

You can prepare all you want ... there are still going to be dead people.

Then the FBI can stop wasting money and man hours on mock attacks and do something else with their time.

Didn’t I read that Mall of America is a “Gun Free Zone”? What exactly does “remaining vigilant” mean in that context?

The FBI “mock attacks” are always staged when there are major “Red Tag” sales. Coincidence? The American Taxpayer wants to know!
To: Libloather
Why does the FBI need to rehearse mall attacks? They should be concentrating on ferreting out jihadis PLANNING those attacks.
Despite todays hit movies, the FBI does not come to the scene of a fast dynamic active shooter scene. Local cops are for that, and any local SWAT team is better then your typical modern Fed.
First response isn’t their forte.

I moved away from the malls and big city to get away from Eric Holder's people. I think the day of the shopping mall has ended for everyone other than Holder's people.
These days my big concern is how big to make the hen house.
