Report: US military to hit targets in Kenya, other African states

September 23rd, 2013

The United States is reportedly preparing a list of targets for possible military strikes in Kenya and some other African countries.

(PressTV) – Former US general Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Chiarelli said the strikes are aimed at targeting militants involved in Sunday’s deadly attack on a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital city of Nairobi.

Somalia’s Al-Shabab fighters have reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it is in retaliation for Kenya’s military actions inside Somalia.

“They’re developing targets . . . and refining target lists, trying to fill in any gaps that we possibly have,” the former four-star general said during an interview with ABC’s This Week on Sunday.

“Intelligence has been gathered and will continue to be gathered to fill in any holes that we have about what happened in this particular attack and what could happen in the future,” Gen. Chiarelli added.

Chiarelli described the situation “very chaotic” and added that US military officials are “doing all of the kinds of things that you would do to gain information in.”

He, however, refused to elaborate how and with what means the US forces or their allies will target the group’s hideouts in Kenya.

This as Kenyan security sources in Nairobi revealed that Israel has sent its special forces to Kenya to fight with the militants at Nairobi’s Westgate shopping mall, according to an AFP report.

The report added that Israeli Commandoes were airlifted to the east African country just after the start of the attack.

Israeli forces were not sent to Kenya to fight with the militant forces, but rather AGAINST the militant forces, major difference.

They were sent to help rescue the hostages.


Israeli forces enter Nairobi mall: security source

NAIROBI, Sep 22 – Israeli forces on Sunday joined Kenyan efforts to end a deadly siege by Somali militants at a Nairobi shopping mall, a security source told AFP.

“The Israelis have just entered and they are rescuing the hostages and the injured,” the source told AFP on condition he not be named.

The attack on the part Israeli-owned upmarket mall has left at least 59 dead and around 200 wounded, Kenyan officials said.

The intervention came 26 hours after gunmen walked into the complex, tossing grenades and spraying gunfire at shoppers and staff.

Somalia’s Al Qaeda-linked Shabaab rebels have claimed responsibility for the attack.

What exactly are you calling a source? I know how to use Google folks...

I am seeing the same "article" posted on blogs and conspiracy theory forums.

I have yet to find the article posted by any major news outlet.

Also, I asked for the SOURCE of the article. As in, some sort of credible evidence that the article wasn't just made up and posted wildly all over the internet.

Yikes, people will believe anything...

And some people want believe anything if it isn't on NBC CBS, ABC, or any other of obama's mainstream sources.....

You can bet the bank our military will get involved with obama's ties to Kenya.

There are reports some of the attackers were American citizens..





Kerry calls Kenya attackers ruthless, reckless; US provides military, law enforcement help


WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry calls Saturday’s assault on at a shopping mall in Kenya’s capital “an enormous offense against everybody’s sense of right and wrong.”

Kerry, who is in New York for meetings at the United Nations, describes the attackers as “ruthless and completely reckless terrorists.”

He spoke Sunday with Somalia’s foreign minister and U.N. ambassador. The Somalia-based, al-Qaida-linked group al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack on the upscale Westgate Mall in Nairobi.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf says U.S. law enforcement, military and civilian personnel in Nairobi are providing advice and assistance to the Kenyan authorities.

She says five Americans were among the scores of people injured in the attack by Islamic extremists, but the U.S. has no reports of any American deaths.

[pippinwhitepaws]

the united states has been hitting targets in Africa since 1790...since when do you care?

 

[austin]

It's true because I say it's true. The target is the records section of the hospital where Obama was born in Kenya. Biden has a big bull elephant spotted by drones and wants a new trophy for the game room. The Israelis just showed up because a new deli opened with a corned beef sandwich special and they had coupons. Hope this clears things up. Saw it on FOX news...

That's funny right there! I know there might have been a couple of people that didn't catch it,, But wouldn't it be funny if Fox had a story like that! And that deli must have a great reputation already!

Corned beef special on rye is one of my favorite lunches.
