#2 Meanwhile, intelligence officers are pursuing leads indicating that a terrorist who is already serving a 59-year jail term was in contact from behind prison walls with the group that planned and carried out the Westgate attack.

EXECUTE HIM.

#3 As Parliament promised to demand answers from all units involved, it also emerged on Wednesday that the police had been given advance intelligence on the planned terrorist attack, but failed to act.

Discounting a possible LEGAT mall shopping trip, this might explain the near immediate arrival of American FBI personnel. The report of armed British SAS men at the mall.....more than a bit curious as well. Perhaps someone was running a sale.

#5 Rivalry among security agencies and lack of clear command lines

Does "what difference does it make" ring a bell?

The report of armed British SAS men at the mall.....

Latest revision to that is one individual, a "retired Royal Marine". Take it for what it's worth.
