NAIROBI — Kenyan troops backed by Israeli forces battled Sunday to end a siege in an upmarket shopping mall and free hostages held by Somali militants in an attack that has so far killed 59 people.
Sporadic gunfire could be heard as Kenyan security officials said they were attempting to kill or capture the remaining attackers and end the 26-hour-long bloodbath at the Westgate mall.
"The Israelis have just entered and they are rescuing the hostages and the injured," a Kenyan security source told AFP. The Israeli foreign ministry refused to confirm or deny its forces were involved.
Somalia's Al Qaeda-inspired Shebab rebels said the carnage at the part Israeli-owned complex was in retaliation for Kenya's military intervention in Somalia, where African Union troops are battling the Islamists.

Good for the Isaelis!
no armed shoppers in that mall evidently!
Are Kerry, McCain, and Graham backing the al-Qaeda rebels fighting in the mall, the same thugs they are backing in Syria as the so-called ‘vetted rebels’?
So, tiny Israel steps into the huge vacuum we have created. God bless them. The America of just 7or 8 years ago would have been clamor ing for a brawl with AQ. Sadly, most of the country has forgotten.
Uh-oh. Israel comes in to fight against Soetoro’s Al-Qaeda Brethren?
The anti-gun nuts are keeping their mouths shut for a change. Coming soon to an gun-free mall near you!
Of course, all the Islamic Ku Klux Klan will use this as a pretext to attack and criticize Israel
By now, if one does not refer to Islamic Terrorism as “Islamic Terrorism”...they are active supporters of Islamic Terrorism
Buh Bye terrorists.
Bibi Netanyahu’s big brother died in the famous Israeli commando “Raid on Entebbe” in 1976.
They have a lot of history......
I guess this was Israel's cover to go in.
Israelis rush in where Obama fears to tread.
The only thing better would have been if the Ruskies went in. They more than likely would have used the first few cannisters of Sarin taken from Assad and probably would not stop at the confines of the Mall. Hello Somalia.
IMO, the only way to stamp out these POSs is to nuke the entire area they come from. I call it the vaporization for peace program. Of course our domestic terrorist in the Whtehut would never approve such a program due to blow back.

I believe he was the leader and the only Israeli casualty, but see my post #11
the “plans” for future PEACE MISSIONS to local malls around the world.. are likely already in the works.
salami salami baloney
Piss be upon the prophet mo-ham-mad!
Should have sent in the Russians. They know how to handle Islamic terrorists.

We can drain the swamp by developing our oil and gas resources, and lowering the world price of oil. Without money, they’re like a toothless Bumble.
I’ve got a sneaky little feeling this is part of the preparation for similar attacks here in the US.
They've had a relationship that goes waaaaaaay back...
