Remember that deadly mall shooting in Kenya? Death toll now at 68, military begins operation

[quote]NAIROBI, Kenya — The Kenyan government on Sunday night appeared ready to storm Shabab militant attackers holed up in a mall for more than a day, seeking to end a siege that has shaken the nation and left dozens dead. As helicopters circled the Westgate mall in Nairobi, the National Disaster Operation Center said on Twitter Sunday evening after sunset: “Godspeed to our guys in the Westgate building. Major engagement ongoing. Sporadic gunfire.”
“Kenyan forces who’ve just attempted a roof landing must know that they are jeopardising the lives of all the hostages at #Westgate,” read a Twitter post attributed to the Shabab on Sunday night. “The Kenyan government shall be held responsible for any loss of life as a result of such an imprudent move.”[/quote]

wait, are they using scars?
With 68 people already dead, there's no reason to think the militants intend to spare the hostages. Storming the place is the only way to resolve this, I think.
six stars wanted level
its kenya, why they dont just run

People really doubt the ability of the Kenyan military.

That's the attackers talking, of course they'll blame the military for everything
Remember, the Kenyan Military kicked the shit out of Al-Shabaab in Somalia, so they aren't to be ignored.

Haven't the terrorists proven they're already going to kill everybody? Should the Kenyan government just let them get away with that? Whoever wrote that Twitter post is an idiot and I really don't understand why it is even in the news story.

That tweet is written by al-Shabab, the group responsible for the attack

Ah, okay.

so if you die in kenya, you die in real life?
[QUOTE=PaChIrA;42276380]Ah, okay.[/QUOTE]
Well you're right with that post anyway.
Wow... My girlfriend's brother narrowly escaped before the place got locked down by the militants. He saw some heavy shit. Why can't people just be decent.
Shooters believed to be from the states: Kansas City MO, and Minnesota

One of the militants was from the UK aswell. According to paper (metro) they were specifically killing none muslims.
[QUOTE=areolop;42276447]Shooters believed to be from the states: Kansas City MO, and Minnesota[/QUOTE]i heard one was from finland
jesus christ Bain told those stupid fucks not to shoot the civilians
now they're calling in the bulldozers
[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;42281118]One of the militants was from the UK aswell.

Well the militants have no demands, they are just using the hostages as shields to buy them more time to prepare. It's a last stand for them and they intend to do as much damage as possible.
These Terrorists, no, scratch that, let's call them cuntist-asshole armed bandits, may call themselves Islamist but they are nothing like Muslims. I say these bandits are infidels and are an insults to the religion ISLAM or humanity in general.
Why are they called Islamist when what they did is completely unIslamic and barbaric. Those innocence civilians murdered by their bullets had nothing to do with their cause.

Well equipped, and aided by the US, UK and Israel.

Because many of them are illiterate and are told that their great imams have decided that it is allowed.

So it could be argued then that these attackers are also victims themselves. Victims of manipulation. Doesn't mean they aren't guilty of the horrible things they're doing, but it means they're being used as tools to further someone else's agenda.
