| Death toll reaches 68 in Kenya mall assault |
| 2013-09-23 |
| [USATODAY] A "major" assault was underway late Sunday aimed at taking back an upscale shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, a day after al-Qaeda-linked faceless myrmidons killed scores of people and took others hostage in an attack with grenades and assault rifles, authorities said. "This will end tonight. Our forces will prevail," Kenya's Disaster Operation Center said. The Kenya Red Thingy said nine more bodies were recovered in a rescue mission late Sunday at Westgate Shopping Mall, raising the corpse count to 68. An unknown number of gunnies and hostages remained in the mall. Kenya's Daily Nation reported that a combination of Kenyan defense and internal security security forces were attempting to make an assault on the attackers, reportedly holed in a room with bulletproof glass. Earlier, Kenya's interior cabinet secretary Joseph Lenku said 175 were maimed and that about 1,000 people have been rescued so far. |

| #7 I hate to say it but I am bigoted. I think that it is past time to stop allowing muslims to immigrate here and to start shipping them out to where they came from or to the middle eastern country of their choosing. They buy the ticket. |
