One possible lead.
The Monday terrorist attack on a mall in Nairobi, Kenya that has now embroiled police in a standoff with Al Qaeda-linked militants may have been orchestrated by a white British mother of three.29-year-old Samantha Lewthwaite, who's been on the run since 2005 after she was questioned by police regarding her then-husband's role as perpetrator of the London subway attacks, seems to have surfaced to orchestrate the shootings at Westgate Shopping Mall that have killed at least 62 people, according to anti-terrorist officials. Witnesses describe seeing a woman that fits her description. The Christian Science Monitor's David Clark Scott reports that Lewthwaite is the daughter of a former British soldier and converted to Islam as a teenager. Her children have apparently remained by her side in her time with the Al Qaeda affiliated Al Shabab group, who has referred to Lewthwaite as their "White Sister." "Lewthwaite has been variously described as a financier, recruiter, and trainer for al Qaeda, and the creator of an all-women jihadist squad in Africa," writes Scott. "She has been accused of orchestrating grenade attacks at worship centers of 'unbelievers of Islam' and believed to be behind an attack on those watching soccer in a bar in Mombasa during Euro 2012."

I would not surprise me at all considering London is one of the worldwide epicenters for producing terrorists.

Coming to America in 3..........2..........

They have been around for some time.....Considering Fort and Libya's dealing. But now they can take a page out of our nefarious elements books. Here are some just for the Windy cCty.

The TAP Boyz (an acronym for The Arabian Posse), was a Chicago-based Palestinian American street gang or self-described "movement" formed on the corner of 63rd & Kedzie in 1992. Their gang colors were either red and white or black and gold, and their symbol was a four pointed star.

It was formed in response to anti-Arab sentiment from rival gangs; the movement's goal was to protect the Arab-American community from being attacked in racially motivated assaults precipitated by the First Gulf War. Most members were high school teenagers from south side high schools such as Hubbard, Bogan, Reavis, Oak Lawn, Andrew, Stagg, and Argo.

Is this really confirmed though?

Speculation at this stage and no official confirmation as yet. Time will tell i guess. Considering she's a leading figure within Al Shabaab it's quite possible.

She's an evil, crazy bitch regardless.

She IS a leading figure in that group? That part is confirmed?
 
Will this serve as an excuse for increased "security" at malls?
will shoppers have to go through airport style screenings to gain access to the mall?

My take on all this is that since the "terrorists"
have moved to a new venue, its yet another VERY good
reason to boycott consumerism.... Stay HOME on BLACK FRIDAY
Consumerism is NOT sustainable.

You're more likely to be killed by being trampled on Black Friday than by a terrorist. In fact, you're more likely to die from just about anything than from a terrorist.

well 3 of them are apparently American citizens as well so it would seem we are not alone.

At least two Americans and one Briton were among the gunmen that stormed the Westgate mall in Nairobi, killing at least 69 people, the Kenyan foreign minister has said. Nairobi terror attack: Americans and Briton 'among the gunmen' - Telegraph

Another link

"The Somali terror group that stormed a Kenyan mall, killing more than 60 people, has a larger U.S. contingent than any other al Qaeda offshoot, said U.S. officials, and is now more prone to mount deadly attacks on targets outside Somalia."

No, you are not alone.

We have not allowed our largest city to become such an epicenter, however, and relatively few of us indulge in the sort of mindless apologia for the ideology they follow that is so de rigueur among you folks and which helps facilitate their spread.
 
It's not in question.

You put it in question when you referred to "we".

Are you a Yemeni, a Pakistani, a Saudi? Is the "we" all Muslims, only those Muslims who wish the destruction of western civilization, or something else?

You said "we". What is the we here?

Depends on where one lives and if Gangbangers are classified as terrorists.....Just sayin!

Westerners fighting terrorism, supposedly, and then joining it. Just like the O admin. In Egypt, Libya and Syria.

Exactly. Wouldn't that recent mass shooting in Chicago have been a terrorist attack had it been carried out by Muslims?

Not really.....Muslims just started to pick up the tactic on the drive bys.

AQAP in Yemen has now taken that page out of our thugs and their life sport. Rather than just trying to blow something up for attention. I expect to see more of it to start to expand.

There has been a couple of threads where I have shown their American born counterparts.....that are out there banging just in my area. Although they have been forced to ride people and folks. Whether they wanted to or not.
 
My first thought was "she must be minging". I wasn't disappointed.
