"Americans among attackers, Kenyan official says; Push to dislodge militants from mall drags on" by Jeffrey Gettleman and Nicholas Kulish | New York Times, September 24, 2013
NAIROBI — The Kenyan foreign minister said Monday that ‘‘two or three’’ Americans were among the gunmen who attacked a Nairobi shopping mall over the weekend, killing at least 62 people.
Peter King called it beforehand yesterday.
Amina Mohamed, in an interview on PBS’s “NewsHour,’’ described them as ‘‘young men, about between maybe 18 and 19,’’ and of Somali or Arab origin. “That just goes to underline the global nature of the war that we’re fighting,’’ Mohamed said.
Gee, and who benefits?
The US State Department said it was checking reports that Americans were among the attackers but had not been able to confirm them.
Peter King already did.
Hundreds of elite Kenyan troops — backed by armored personnel carriers, helicopters, planes, and security officials from Israel, France, Britain, and the United States — have amassed against the small group of Islamist militants still holed up in the mall.
With every paragraph this looks more and more like a false flag. The intelligence operation I call a jewspaper practically confirms it with their laugh-in-your-face code.
But as night fell on Monday and a thick funnel of black smoke churned from the Westgate mall in central Nairobi, the militants were still their ground.
Kenya struggled to bring to a close a horrific episode that has deeply unnerved its people and its allies, which rely on the country as a cornerstone of stability in an often turbulent region.
So was Egypt.
“This will end tonight,” Kenyan officials had declared as a major rescue operation got under way on Sunday evening.
But shortly thereafter, three Kenyan commandos were shot to death at close range and several hostages were killed as Kenyan forces tried to move in on militants hiding in a dark corner of the mall, Western officials said.
Hmmmmmmmm.
When The Standard hit the stands on Monday with the headline, “The Final Assault,” the sound of gunfire and explosives was still echoing through central Nairobi, spreading even more fear among Kenyans, who have been shocked and demoralized by the events over the past three days.
A psyop.
According to the Kenyan government, 10 to 15 militants were involved in the attack and at least three have been killed in the tactical operations. At least 10 hostages were still being held by late Monday, the Associated Press reported.
Kenya is a crucial American partner whose security forces work closely with their Western counterparts to contain Islamist militants in the region.
Now Kenya’s capital, considered an oasis of prosperity in this part of Africa and an important base for Western embassies and businesses, has become a battleground in the conflict, and there is growing concern that this attack will not be the last.
And ONCE AGAIN the WAR AGENDA is ADVANCED!
And did you CATCH that TELEGRAPH of an even bigger false flag?
Several witnesses said some of the ringleaders of the assault — in which masked gunmen moved methodically through the crowded mall on Saturday, killing men, women, and children — may have escaped during the initial confusion.
Are you flipping kidding us? The "terrorist masterminds" escaped? That's some leadership.
One witness said that an assailant quickly tore off his clothes and changed into a new outfit before running out, hands raised, blending in with a crowd of fleeing civilians.
Security officials in Nairobi said that two women, who were among the militants and who appeared to be directing other assailants during the killings, managed to escape after the initial stage of the attack.
Would that be the shadowy Samantha Lewthwaite or was this all another staged psyop?
That assertion raised fears that well-trained terrorists could be on the loose in Nairobi. Several witnesses have said that some of the militants were clearly not African and may have been from Western countries, but American officials said they could not confirm that.
Don't worry, confirmation not needed. We and the world know what is going on.
Kenya’s security forces have a reputation for being lowly paid and underequipped, and they seem to have been ill-prepared for a complex hostage situation against die-hard militants.
Die-hard militants whose leadership flees.
According to several Western officials, the Kenyans initially rebuffed offers of assistance from the American government and turned instead to the Israelis, who dispatched advisers from the country’s defense forces.
That was reported yesterday, and what a steaming pile of stinking stench.
On Monday afternoon, Kenyan security officials acknowledged that the effort to end the standoff was taking longer than expected but said it would be over soon.
“We are in charge of the situation, our people are safe, and hostages have been evacuated,” said Joseph Ole Lenku, Kenya’s interior cabinet secretary.
The militants holed up in the mall, with military-grade weaponry, are widely believed to be members of al-Shabab, a brutal Somali extremist group that has claimed responsibility for the attack.
That's Al-CIA-Bob to those just joining us.
But the possible presence of militants from outside of Africa — and the way the assailants have been ferociously fending off attempts to dislodge them — has raised questions.
It's s***-shoveling agenda-pushing from them in each and every paragraph.

Why Am I No Longer Reading the Newspaper?
Oh, now it all makes sense.
Some Western security officials are now beginning to wonder if other terrorist groups may be involved.
Like who? Who are they going to try and pin this on, IRAN?!?!
“They are clearly a multinational collection,” said Julius Karangi, chief of the Kenyan general staff. “We are fighting global terrorism here.”
They sure are making a point of making a point of that.
Al-Shabab spokesmen have said that the massacre was revenge for Kenya’s military incursion into Somalia, which began in 2011, when Kenya sent thousands of troops across the border to push back the group as part of the African Union’s effort to stabilize the country.
Three years ago, Al-Shabab also claimed credit for the coordinated bombings that killed more than 70 people in Uganda as crowds gathered to watch the World Cup, calling the attacks retribution for Uganda’s decision to send troops to Somalia.
The Israeli advisers are working closely with the Kenyan commandos inside the mall, helping plan specific tactical operations.
And a bunch of them were ambushed and killed, huh, as well as hostages being executed? The vaunted security services of Israel a complete flop, or mission accomplished?
The American, French, and British officials are left with a more back-seat role from a command center just down the street from the mall, helping the Kenyans with the investigation of the attack and some intelligence matters, a high-ranking Kenyan official said Monday.
Well, ISN'T THAT a PERECT ALLEGORY for the whole hierarchy of power in the world today?
“There’s too much consultation going on,” said the Kenyan official, who had not been authorized to speak publicly. “This should have been a small rescue operation, not preparing for war.”
Huh!
And who benefits there?

This was an update I found on the Globe while searching for that JYT pos:
"Militant group says hostages alive in Kenya mall" by Jason Straziuso and Tom Odula | Associated Press, September 24, 2013
NAIROBI, Kenya — Islamic militants who staged a deadly attack on a Kenya mall said Tuesday hostages are still alive and fighters are ‘‘still holding their ground,’’ as Nairobi’s city morgue braced for the arrival of a large number of bodies of people killed, an official said....
Kenyan forces have been battling the militants for four days and police said in a tweet: ‘‘Troops now in mop up operations in the building.’’
The police urged people to ignore ‘‘enemy... propaganda’’ and assured that the defense forces were continuing to ‘‘neutralize’’ the terrorist threat....
Okay, I'll ignore the propaganda.
Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said ‘‘two or three Americans’’ and ‘‘one Brit’’ were among those who attacked the mall.
She said in an interview with the PBS ‘‘NewsHour’’ program that the Americans were 18 to 19 years old, of Somali or Arab origin and lived ‘‘in Minnesota and one other place’’ in the U.S. The attacker from Britain was a woman who has ‘‘done this many times before,’’ Mohamed said.
U.S. officials said they were looking into whether any Americans were involved. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday that the department had ‘‘no definitive evidence of the nationalities or the identities’’ of the attackers.
Gee, that's weird.

CIA-Bob put out a roster, but the government can't confirm or deny?
Britain’s foreign office said it was aware of the foreign minister’s remarks, but would not confirm if a British woman was involved....
Why do I smell the stench of cover up?
A Western security official in Nairobi who insisted on not being named to share information about the rescue operation said the only reason the siege hadn’t yet ended would be because hostages were still inside.
Westgate mall, a vast complex with multiple banks that have secure vaults and bulletproof glass partitions, as well as a casino, is difficult to take, the official said. ‘‘They are not made for storming,’’ he said of the labyrinth of shops, restaurants and offices. ‘‘They’re made to be unstormable.’’
Just like the WTC towers were built to absorb an airplane impact and still stand.
And these "terrorists" somehow got in to the Israeli-owned complex, huh (with the ISRAELIS ALREADY FINGERING IRAN, are you s***ting me?!!)? Why didn't they go for the banks and casino? They went to a dark corner of the mall instead? ????
Oh, does this ever STINK of MOSSAD now!
Some 12 to 15 al-Shabab militants attacked Saturday, wielding grenades and firing on civilians inside the mall, which includes shops for such retail giants as Nike, Adidas and Bose and is popular with foreigners and wealthy Kenyans.
The militants specifically targeted non-Muslims, and at least 18 foreigners were among the dead, including six Britons, as well as citizens from France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, India, Ghana, South Africa and China. Nearly 200 people were wounded, including five Americans.
Fighters from an array of nations participated in the assault, according to Kenya’s Chief of Defense forces Gen. Julius Karangi. ‘‘We have an idea who these people are and they are clearly a multinational collection from all over the world,’’ he said.
The attack at the Westgate mall in Nairobi’s Westlands neighborhood was the deadliest terrorist attack in Kenya since the 1998 al-Qaida truck bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, which killed more than 200 people.

NEW YORK — Three men facing federal terrorism charges in New York City have strong ties to the extremist Islamic group that claimed responsibility for the deadly attack on an upscale Kenyan shopping mall, US authorities said.
Two of the men made brief appearances Monday in federal court in Brooklyn, where prosecutors and defense lawyers told a judge they were in plea negotiations. The third is due in court next week....

Among the dozens killed during the weekend terrorist attack at an upscale shopping mall in Kenya?
Elif Yavuz, a 33-year-old native of the Netherlands who earned a doctor of science degree from Harvard’s School of Public Health in May, was working in Tanzania as a senior vaccines researcher at the Clinton Health Access Initiative, a global organization chaired by former president Bill Clinton [and] recently met Clinton through her role with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, friends said....
Not only was she a spy, she was working for a genocidal pharmaceutical!
Jessica Cohen, an assistant professor in the department who was Yavuz’s thesis adviser and among the many friends who were mourning her death Monday, called her “one of the brightest students we’ve ever had.”

"US and British relations with Kenya have appeared nearly normal.... The case represents a pivotal moment for the court, and one not without risks. The tribunal finds itself the object of significant ire in Kenya and elsewhere on the continent because all eight of the cases on its docket are from Africa. Earlier this year, the African Union accused the court of targeting Africans."
They got that right, although the Serbs that were there proves it is more an elitist thing, although I did notice they are not to be charged with crimes that serve the empire. You know, the same good-hearted souls who have made the world a hell for black people but hollers racist at anyone who disagrees with them.
