Kenya's interior Cabinet secretary says at least 59 people were killed and 175 wounded in the attack by al-Qaida-linked militants at an upscale mall in Nairobi.
Joseph Lenku said Sunday that about 1,000 people have been rescued so far from the Westgate mall.
The gunmen remain inside with hostages nearly 24 hours after they launched the attack with grenades and assault rifles.
Lenku said that there are 10 to 15 attackers involved. He said that Kenyan forces have control of the security cameras inside the mall. Combined military and police forces have surrounded the building.
The Somali militant group al-Shabab claimed responsibility for the attack, and targeted non-Muslims.
Oh, and the word is that there are a couple of American jihadis in this group.
The same group that claimed responsibility for an attack on a Kenyan mall this weekend that has claimed at least 68 lives has previously recruited dozens of Americans to join their cause.
U.S. officials estimate that as many as 50 Americans have traveled to training camps in Somalia, the home of the al Qaeda-linked terror group al-Shabaab, over the last six years.
Just last month, al-Shabaab released a video showing three young men claiming to be from Minneapolis who the terror group said later died as martyrs.
"This is the best place to be honestly," one of the men says. "I can only tell you from my experience being here, that you have the best of dreams, you eat the best of food, and you're with the best of the brothers and sisters who came here for the sake of Allah. If you guys only knew how much fun we have over here. This is the real Disneyland, you need to come here and join us and take pleasure in this fun."

I can tell you first hand: we have a Somali infestation in the Twin Cities. Every single one I've encountered (usually driving taxis at the airport, but elsewhere as well) is a bastard sonofabitch. This news doesn't surprise me.
Al-Qaeda affiliated Al-Shabaab is claiming that there are 3 American gunmen among the others in a standoff at the Nairobi Mall in Kenya. They are Ahmed Mohamed Isse, 22, “native” of St. Paul, MN, Abdifatah Osman Keenadiid, 24, of Minneapolis, and Gen Mustafe Noorudiin, 27, of Kansas City, MO. The attack has killed at least 68, including the wife of a U.S. diplomat, and more than 175 have been wounded.

if the islamists want an easy target when they begin their attack on America, they can start at the local starbucks because they will be gun-free zones.
Saw a robed-wrapped gal driving down the road...some wrap still caught in door jam flappin' in the breeze...

Soldiers told of the horrific torture meted out by terrorists in the Nairobi mall massacre yesterday with claims hostages were dismembered, had their eyes gouged out and were left hanging from hooks in the ceiling.
Men were said to have been castrated and had fingers removed with pliers before being blinded and hanged.
Children were found dead in the food court fridges with knives still embedded in their bodies, it was claimed.
Need to change that to "...unarmed non-muslims", these punks are cowards and wouldn't last long in many parts of America, they pick soft targets because they are soft...which is to say pretty much every large urban area where libiots disarm citizens.

Gee, I wish I hadn't lost all of my firearms in a horrible boating accident. ::)

I hate it when that happens.
I don't understand the "hate the Jews" crap that continues to this day. Some of my best friends are Jews, and I've never had any problems with Jews hating me or otherwise giving me a hard time.

Interestingly, none of my Jewish friends can recall any incident in which they had been trashed because they are Jews.
