Al-Shabaab

At least 10 people are killed and 70 injured in two explosions in the Kenyan capital, as Britons leave the country after a Foreign Office warning about “a high threat of terrorism”.

Since the Westgate shopping mall attacks, many Kenyans now live in fear. But the government’s anti-terror crackdown has angered many Muslims, some of whom have flocked to al-Shabaab.

A senior al-Shabaab commander, who was behind several suicide attacks, has been killed in an American missile attack in southern Somalia.

Islamist militants from the al-Qaeda linked al-Shabaab group claim responsibility for a bombing attack on a hotel in Somalias capital, Mogadishu, in which 11 people have died.

Among the most feared of al-Qaeda’s affiliates, al-Shabaab was behind the Westgate shopping mall attack in Kenya. Jamal Osman attended one of its training camps in the Somali bush.

As the government announces new measures to tackle extremism, Ajmal Masroor, an imam at a London mosque, joins Usama Hasan from the Quilliam Foundation to talk about whether the plans will work.

Last month’s terror attack at the Westgate shopping centre in Kenya showed how media-savvy al-Shabaab is. As Jamal Osman writes, the jihadist group’s media office is small but determined.

The latest video from Somali-based terrorists al-Shabaab focuses on the killing of Drummer Lee Rigby. It names several “deluded” Muslims who condemned the killing: the police are offering protection.

Harrowing footage emerges of the attack on Nairobi’s Westgate mall – showing gunmen chatting on mobile phones before spraying bullets at terrified shoppers. Warning – contains distressing footage.

US forces launch raids in Libya and Somalia capturing a top al-Qaeda figure wanted for the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, US officials confirm.

The Kenya military confirms two Westgate mall attackers exclusively named by Channel 4 News were responsible for the atrocity which killed 67 people last month.

A night-time raid on the Somali coast struck at a stronghold of terrorist group al-Shabaab. The group allege that the SAS were involved and that one SAS officer died in the fight.

Reports that some of the al-Shabaab terrorists, who attacked the Westgate shopping centre in Nairobi, escaped are likely to be true, writes Jamal Osman. Now they can expect a life of hero worship.

Nearly 40 people are still missing following the four-day terrorist attack on a Nairobi shopping centre, the Kenyan Red Cross says, despite the government’s claims to the contrary.
