Death Toll In Kenyan University Attack Rises Over 140

Kenyan officials have confirmed the death toll in the Islamic terrorist attack on Garissa University has reached 147.

Witnesses say that the terrorists appear to have had excessive planning because the first place targeted was a lecture hall where Christians would meet for early morning prayers.

“They investigated our area. They knew everything,” Helen Titus told The Associated Press at a hospital in Garissa where she was being treated for a bullet wound to the wrist.  Titus said she put her classmate’s blood and hair on her face and laid still to make the attackers believe she was dead.

The terrorists also called for studnets to come out, saying they would not kill women.  They shot men on site if they said they were not Muslim.

The terrorists confirmed they were targeting Christians.

“We sorted people out and released the Muslims,” Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, the spokesman for the group Al-Shabaab, which took responsibility for the armed assault, announced. “There are many dead bodies of Christians inside the building.”

Terrorists Kill 70 In Attack on Kenyan College

A group of masked terrorists have killed at least 70 people and taken hostages after attacking Garissa University in Kenya.

The Islamic extremist group Al-Shabaab claimed the assault and said they were targeting the Christians at the school.

“We sorted people out and released the Muslims,” said terrorist spokesman Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab.  “There are many dead bodies of Christians inside the building. We are also holding many Christians alive. Fighting still goes on inside the college.”

Witnesses say that the terrorists had snipers on top of buildings to shoot those who were fleeing the dormitories during the attack.  Soldiers reportedly ordered the students to dive for cover as they escaped the building.

The terrorists say they are also holding a number of female Christians alive as hostages.

The vice chariman of the student union told Fox News that the gunmen were asking people about their faith.

“If you were a Christian you were shot on the spot,” he said. “With each blast of the gun I thought I was going to die.”

The terrorist group has targeted Kenya after that nation contributed forces to the African Union that drove Al-Shabaab from major cities in Somalia.

Islamists Call For Attacks On American Malls

A video released by an Al-Qaeda affiliate is calling for attacks on malls in the United States and other parts of the western world.

Al-Shabaab release the video Saturday citing three malls:  The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota; West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada; Oxford Street shopping area in London, England.

The terror group, which was behind the deadly Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya in 2013, showed images of that assault at the start of the clip before issuing a call.

“If just a handful of mujahedeen fighters could bring Kenya to a complete standstill for nearly a week then imagine what a dedicated mujahedeen in the West could do to the American or Jewish-owned shopping centers across the world?” he asks. “What if such an attack were to occur in the Mall of America in Minnesota? Or the West Edmonton Mall in Canada? Or in London’s Oxford Street?”

“What would be the implications of such an attack? One could only imagine. And all it takes is a man with firm determination,” he continues. “So hurry up, hasten towards Heaven and do not hesitate.”

The Mall of America announced they have increased security in response to the video.  The Department of Homeland Security said they are aware of the video and they’re taking steps to analyze the footage.

Jeh Johnson, head of Homeland Security, said people shopping need to be careful.

“If anyone is planning to go to the Mall of America today, they’ve got to be particularly careful,” he said. “There will be enhanced security there, but public vigilance, public awareness and public caution in situations like this is particularly important, and it’s the environment we’re in, frankly.”
