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.

Presumably, the White House immediately
sent the weaknesses learned to its offshoot: ISIS
(which it calls ISIL) and to its beloved Hamas
and the Iranians.

They can’t be at all possible malls, so anything the FBI does is going to be quite a bit “AFTER THE FACT” of an attack. People will get killed anyway, if some Islamic Terrorists manage to attack a mall. The FBI will be coming in after it’s all over!

They’re a couple decades too late. Every mall around me is nearly empty or closed.

The FBI is undercover in every mall, in every major anchor store, they are disguised as perfume tester gals that spray every person within 50 feet a toxic dose of the most reprehensible odors imaginable. Have no fear, any terrorist will be stopped in a heart beat when some sweet innocent looking gal sprays them like a New York rat getting zapped by an exterminator.

I’ve read that some malls have been converted to house computer server farms (cheap rental space).

But I think Section 8 housing is the destiny for most of them.

Sounds like some G-men are going to end up being gunned down by Paul Blart & Co.

Interesting! I’m in Tulsa and all the malls are open and active around here. And in fact, another BIG MALL is being proposed to the Tulsa City Council to be built.

We must like Malls better than you guys do around there ... :-) ...

OH ... and one more thing ... you ought to go to Dallas ... they shop there like it’s going out of style. In fact, you “SHOP” in Dallas at 60-70 MPH, as these malls are next to the Freeways around there, and you just drive down the Freeway until you see the store you want, take the exit and go there. Then you get back on the Freeway and go to the next store.

It really is “SHOP BY FREEWAY” in Dallas! ... LOL ...

Probably recruited many of the Somalians that work at the Mall of America to be vigilant stand the course and whitey will get it yet in Minnesota. Probably will be an inside job.

What branch of the FBI is preparing? Must be the Crime Scene Cleanup And Mortuary branch. There won’t be much need of anything else.

I don’t go to malls much any more. If they want to have a chance at getting me, they’re going to have to attack Amazon.com.

Wonder what the spin would be if a ccw holder shot an FBI agent during one of these practice runs, thinking it was the real thing?
