NAIROBI (Reuters) - Somalia's hardline al Shabaab rebels threatened on Thursday to attack neighbouring Kenya following a crackdown on Somalis in the capital Nairobi, according to a recording posted on an al Shabaab Web site. Islamist al Shabaab have threatened to attack Kenya before, although anger has been rising over the past week among the Somali community after Kenyan security forces detained hundreds of Somalis living in a Nairobi suburb.Renewed fears over al Shabaab's links with Yemen and an attack on the home of a Danish cartoonist by an axe-wielding man with reported ties to the insurgents have focussed attention on the militant group ."God willing we will arrive in Nairobi, we will enter Nairobi, God willing we will enter ... when we arrive we will hit, hit until we kill, weapons we have, praise be to God, they are enough," men chanted in a recording nearly seven minutes long.They chanted in Swahili and another man spoke in Arabic.The Kenyan police crackdown followed a violent protest in Nairobi against the detention of Jamaican Muslim cleric Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal, who was jailed in Britain for urging his audiences to kill Jews, Hindus and Westerners.The Web site said the message had been composed by militants annoyed by Kenya's decision to deport the cleric and the deaths of protesters last Friday. At least two people died during nearly nine hours of mayhem in the heart of the capital.Many of the marchers were Somalis and some waved a black flag identified with al Shabaab, a group seen by Washington as al Qaeda's proxy in the Horn of Africa nation.

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa

They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
