1. Mumbai attack - Westgate

4. Karachi International Airport - Entebee attack to be?
Si Raisi alituambia hii haikuwa Al shabaab?
Al Shaboobs working with locals..wanajijua. BTW, grenade attacks ziliisha tangu..
I quite agree that Mpeketoni was a mix Al shabaab and local issues.
But then why did Uhuru deny the terror group's obvious involvement!
Because the crux of the whole thing was not kebab. It wasnt a kebab mission. Kebabs offered mission support (rented).
As long as Alshabaab is the main purveyor and the means of choice is terror, then the logical thing to do is to accept that reality, then one can start looking at the secondary issues of why they did it.
Terror groups choose different targets for different reasons each time!
They almost always collaborate with and use local converts/hirees
For me Alshabaab wanted to send a message to Uhuru that he should pull KDF out of Kismayu combined with some revenge on the alleged KDF atrocities in Somalia.
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
