Terror at Nairobi Mall Leaves at Least 30 Dead

[Chopstick]

I'd be holed up under a desk, holding the fattest person I could find in front of me to protect me from the bullets. And I'd be screaming like a little girl.

I cant believe you would put me in harm's way like that. I thought you were my friend.
BTW screaming would give our hiding place way. DOH!:wall:

I was going to say I would be behind 0699, but since you beat me to it, I guess I wold have to be behind you. In addition to screaming, I would also be peeing my pants.

There's a report in today paper, link coming, which outlines the reaction to it by police and KDF. There was a team to get out some VIPs, which was independent & indecision on who would run the show.

Here is a little happy news.

A U.S. Navy SEAL team seized a senior leader of the al Shabaab militant group from a seaside villa in Somalia on Saturday in response to a deadly attack on a Nairobi shopping mall last month, the New York Times quoted U.S. officials as saying.

The SEAL team seized the unidentified target in a predawn firefight after approaching the beachfront house in the Somali town of Barawe by sea, the paper reported on its website

"The Barawe raid was planned a week and a half ago," the newspaper quoted an unnamed U.S. security official as saying.

"It was prompted by the Westgate attack," he added, referring to a militant assault on a Nairobi shopping mall two weeks ago in which at least 67 people were killed.

The Times quoted witnesses as saying that the firefight lasted more than an hour, with helicopters called in for air support.

Just caught up with this one and it looks like (from what I'm hearing) that they may have wacked the guy but as they had to withdraw, it's not confirmed officially. North Africa is a different matter. The guy is in the bag.

Good for them. Hope they were completely successful in their mission, and that the guy is dead.

Also glad they got the other POS. They all get a big thank you from me.

 

[CQB]

Amen to that.
