The progs just parrot their canned lines without any deep thought.

Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991 plunged the Horn of Africa nation into anarchy, allowing al Shabaab, which means "Youth" or "Boys" in Arabic, to seize control of large areas of south and central Somalia.
- Al Shabaab's militia was part of Somalia's Islamic Courts Union movement that pushed U.S.-backed warlords out of the capital Mogadishu in June 2006 and ruled for six months before Somali and Ethiopian forces ousted the movement.

- Five years on, in August 2011, al Shabaab began pulling its fighters out of Mogadishu. In September 2012, African peacekeepers pushed the group out of the port of Kismayu.

- Although the rebels have still struck back repeatedly with bombs and attacks, their retreat from Mogadishu and Kismayu signaled they could not defeat militarily a government backed by foreign firepower. Ethiopian, Kenyan and African peacekeeping (AMISOM) troops have advanced and taken rebel strongholds.

- Al Qaeda said in early 2012 that al Shabaab had joined its ranks and the group has resorted to guerrilla-style hit-and-run attacks against AMISOM troops. At least 3,000 African peacekeepers have been killed in Somalia since 2007, the United Nations says.

They would call themselves freedom fighters.
They should just call themselves "Rebels" and then we could send them some weapons, advisers & give them air support.

Exactly! I bet Kenyans are angry with Israel, turns out they knew this was a target.

The Israeli-owned mall was well aware of the security warnings and had precautions similar to an airport; cars are checked with mirrors for bombs and pedestrians are frisked. Michael, one of the 40 or so private security guards, was in the parking lot that faces the mall. He described feeling helpless, adding: "We tried to help as many people as possible but I'm not going back in there. I don't have a gun and they have so many. I have a family to think about."

I bet they're still resettling "refugees" there.

Blame the Jew? I mean really just because you have warnings doesn't mean you can prevent an attack. I understand IDF soldiers are involved in retaking the hotel.

The article I read, the attackers were shouting that Muslims were safe and could leave unharmed.

I just love that ****ing twisted logic that seems to run rampant in all religions.....
One of these days the US populace will figure out who the enemy is ...despite political correctness.

It's not the Jews, it's the Zionists that run that country - the Jews are just a tool.

They did that to one person. okay.

The attacks on 9/11/01 targeted people from many walks of life.

That's probably the case with this attack. I wonder what they'll do if the find out they accidentally killed a Muslim brother or sister?
