US Warns Tourists in Kenya About Possible Terror Attacks

(NewsCore) - American citizens and foreigners in Kenya were being warned Friday that an al Qaeda affiliate in neighboring Somalia is planning to target locations broadcasting sporting events, a US official confirmed to FOX News Channel.

The feared attacks from al Shabaab, which was behind suicide attacks last year at venues in Uganda broadcasting World Cup soccer matches, could target places showing the Rugby World Cup, with finals matches commencing Saturday and running until October 23, and a soccer match between Kenya and its western neighbor Uganda being played Saturday.

The Uganda strike by al Shabaab, which killed 76, was considered an indicator that the group was going "more global" in its targeting and may be capable of hitting US targets, FOX reported.

An alert by the US embassy warned, "The US Embassy in Nairobi has received credible information about a potential threat to Americans and other foreigners linked to international sporting events, such as the Kenya-Uganda football match on Saturday, October 8, or the upcoming Rugby World Cup.

"American citizens are urged to avoid public venues, such as sports bars, night clubs, and restaurants, which will be broadcasting these games, as well as public transportation, such as buses, to and from the events."

ABC News reported that Usama bin Laden had urged al Shabaab to target the US after learning that a number of US-born Somalis had joined the organization. They include Alabama native Omar Hammami, also known as Abu Mansoor al Amriki, an al Shabaab spokesman who is wanted by the FBI for "terrorism violations" including "providing material support to terrorists." foxdcnews

Al-Shabaab pulls out of Burdubo, Gedo regio

Al-Shabaab rebel group has on Thursday night pulled out of its bases in Burdubo district of Gedo region after heavily armed government and ASWJ forces pitched tents in Fanweyn area, few kilometers from Burdubo town.

In an exclusive interview with Bar-kulan, ASWJ spokesman in the region Mohamed Hussein Issack Al-Qadi said the joint forces are heading towards Burdubo in efforts to drive away the militant group from the area.

He vowed to continue their fight against the rebel group in the region, saying the militia is a burden on the locals who are already suffering from drought and famine related crisis.

Elsewhere, government troops in parts of Gedo region have on Thursday conducting security operations aimed at tightening security in areas between Beled-hawo, Garbaharey, Luq and El-wak.

AU forces plan to cover al-Shabaab strongholds

The African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom) confirmed it had controlled about 95 per cent of the war-torn country’s capital, Mogadishu, and overpowered al-Shabaab militants.The regional peacekeeping mission in Somalia has declared its intentions to move and secure south and central SomaliaAmisom, in collaboration with TFG, will conduct its operations in three phases aimed at freeing the people of Somalia from the shackles of atrocities.According to the mission’s force com“We hope we’ll be able to extend our operations to have the whole of Mogadishu city liberated.“We also have a sizeable number of TFG-allied militia waging war against al-Shabaab and al-Qaeda,” explained Mr Mugisha.Mr Mugisha said Amisom had relatively stabilised the security situation in Mogadishu, adding that any serious faction that aspires to attain political power would not carry out terror attacks on the same people it looked forward to rule.According to the peacekeeping mission, militias loyal to TFG are carrying out their operations south west of Mogadishu near the Kenya-Ethiopia border to prevent terrorism.“Today, 95 per cent of Mogadishu is under the control of Amisom and the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). We will move to the south as soon as we gain full control. Terrorism has nothing to do with military strength. Infact, it shows how weak and desperate the group is,” said Mr Mugisha.Conquering Mogadishu falls under Phase 1 of the Amisom concept of operation that aims to liberate the whole of Mogadishu.The second phase is meant to take control of all townships surrounding Mogadishu and later to the central and southern parts of Somalia, including Kismayu.He said that as soon the peacekeeping force had acquired complete control of Mogadishu, they would move to the central and southern areas, including Kismayu.Mr Mugisha said the second phase of their operations may help prevent more attacks on Kenya by al-Shabaab militants that has so far seen two tourists kidnapped in Lamu, part of Kenya’s coast.

Worst Terror Attack in Somalia .Al-Qaida-linked terrorist group kills 100 in Somalia blast. Somali Militants Vow to up Attacks After Bombing.Death toll in terror Mogadishu attacks rises to more than 100

This is the 2nd time this devils have targeted innocent students

UPDATE ON Al-Shabab claims deadly Mogadishu blast. Bomb attack outside government compound in Somali capital leaves at least 70 people dead and many others wounded.



The death toll in the  terror attack Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Tuesday is expected to soar to nearly ... More 100 people

At least 100 people were killed in Somalia's capital Mogadishu on Tuesday when a suicide truck bomb exploded outside a compound housing several government ministries.Responsibility for the attack, one of the most devastating in the city to date, was claimed by the Islamist militant group al-Shabaab. A bomb in a second vehicle reportedly failed to detonate.Just two months ago the al-Qaida-linked group announced its withdrawal from Mogadishu, following an offensive by government troops and African Union forces to retake the city as famine spread throughout the country.The bomber detonated a truckload of explosives at a security checkpoint outside a compound housing four ministries, including the Ministries of Education and External Relations.A second truck laden with explosives failed to go off and its current whereabouts is still being determined, Lieutenant Colonel Paddy Ankunda, a spokesman for the African Union peacekeeping force, told The Daily Telegraph.Ali Muse, the head of Mogadishu's ambulance services, told The Daily Telegraph on Tuesday night that the death toll had reached 100.Blackened bodies lay strewn across the streets at the heart of the government district in the K4 area of the capital. According to a government statement, many of the dead were students and parents who were waiting at the Ministry of Education for the results of applications for scholarships to study in Turkey.The Daily Telegraph counted more than 35 bodies at the blast site, including those of students, government soldiers and civilians. An unidentified minister was reportedly severely injured in the blast.Many people were trapped in the rubble after buildings collapsed and a rescue team was working to bring out survivors. Scores of wounded were transferred to Mogadishu's two main hospitals, Banadir and Medina. The explosion damaged houses nearly a mile away.Sheikh Ali Mohamed Rage, a spokesman for al-Shabaab, told the BBC that the group had carried out the attack, a claim repeated on a website that it regularly uses. A spokesman later warned civilians to stay away from government buildings and military bases because they were planning more attacks.Despite the insurgents' withdrawal from Mogadishu, security officials in the capital had been expecting an upsurge in guerrilla attacks as al-Shabaab shifted its tactics."We knew that they were planning something horrible, especially asymmetric violence such as suicide bombing," said Lt-Col Ankunda. "We need to be more vigilant and encourage the government to improve its policing."Rashid Abid, a Somalia analyst for the think-tank International Crisis Group, said: "They are sending a strong message: those who thought the movement was weakened will have to reconsider."

The attack - which has been strongly condemned by the United Nations - is also likely to complicate the delivery of humanitarian assistance to famine victims in the capital and surrounding areas. Al-Shabaab's withdrawal from Mogadishu - and an apparent willingness to allow aid into al-Shabaab-controlled areas - encouraged many international agencies to return to Mogadishu after a prolonged absence due to security concerns. But an attack of this scale will prompt many to reconsider.

"This is bad news for humanitarian operations. Many agencies were planning to relocate to Mogadishu, but this attack will inhibit their ability to supply those affected," added Mr Abdi.

In early September the United Nations warned that - without urgent help - 750,000 people were at risk of death from starvation in Somalia before the end of the year.

Al-Shabaab launched its insurgency against the Western-backed Transitional Federal Government in late 2006 and claimed affiliation with al-Qaida in 2007. The organization is believed to include foreign fighters who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq and have helped to train Somali militants in tactics such as suicide bombing and assassinations.

A bomb blast outside a government compound in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, has killed at least 70 people and left many others wounded, in one of the country's deadliest ever suicide attacks, officials and witnesses said.Al-Shabab, the armed anti-government group, claimed Tuesday's blast, which came as the rebels launched attacks in the country's west and south.An al-Shabab official who spoke to the AFP news agency on condition of anonymity said one of the group's fighters had carried out the attack."One of our mujahideen made the sacrifice to kill TFG [Transitional Federal Government] officials, the African Union troops and other informers who were in the compound," said the al-Shabab official.The blast occurred when a truck blew up after coming to a halt at a security checkpoint at the entrance to the Ministry of Education, said Ali Hussein, a police officer in the Somali capital. After the thunderous blast, blackened corpses were sprawled on the debris-strewn street amid burning vehicles and uniformed soldiers dragged the wounded from the scene.Mohamed Sheikh Nor, a Somali journalist, told Al Jazeera that several "ministers were coming out of the building just seconds after the explosion""It was the worst attack I have ever witnessed," he said.Scores woundedAli Muse, the chief of Mogadishu's ambulance service, told The Associated Press news agency that at least 70 people had died and at least 42 others were wounded."The explosion has not only affected the targeted place, but even passers-by and car passengers died there. The death toll may increase and we are still carrying many dead bodies,'' he said.Ali Abdullahi, a nurse at Medina hospital, said medics were treating people with horrific wounds, including amputated limbs, burns, and patients who became blinded."It is the most awful tragedy I have ever seen," he said. "Imagine dozens are being brought here minute by minute. Most of the wounded people are unconscious and others have their faces blackened by smoke and heat."African Union and government troops deployed heavily to the area and cordoned it off.

Students believed killed

The explosion is thought to have gone off as students were queueing for scholarships offered by Turkey, which recently stepped up its involvement in Somalia and pledged to re-open an embassy in Mogadishu.

Suldan Sarah, the communications director for the Somali president, told Al Jazeera that the majority of the victims were students who were waiting to hear if they had won a scholarship."To do a cowardly act like that does not mean you are a force to be reckoned with," he said. "It just means you can commit a mass murder using a suicide bomber. This is not the sign of strength, but rather a cowardly act."He said the explosion happened outside the checkpoint at the complex of ministries, of which the Ministry of Education is a part. "The security services are working around the clock, and are working within their capabilities, and as such have foiled a number of attempts over the past month [of other attacks]," Sarah said.If the death toll is confirmed, Tuesday's attack would be the deadliest carried out by al-Shabab since multiple bombings in the Ugandan capital Kampala killed at least 76 people in July 2010.

Somalia the most corrupt country MPs of the transitional federal government are today expected to meet in the Golaha Sha’abka where they will debate over fate of the size of the Somali territorial waters as enshrined in the 19th December 2011 roadmap.According to the Somali water law of 1972, Somali territorial waters covers up to 200 miles.The law was incorporated to the international convention on the law of the sea of 1982 that later became into full force in 1994.The minister of fisheries and natural resources of Somalia, Abdirahman Sheikh Ibrahim who paid a visit to Seychelles has yesterday reported to parliament about his assignment in Seychelles. according to Somali Navy Admiral Farah Cumar Ahmad and Minister of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Mohamed Moalim Hassan issued the government is trying to change the law NO# 37 .

Note: If the statement of the minister substantiates, Somali people will be deprived of a territorial sea (waters) estimated 2, 158, 506 km square (approximately 2.2 million kilometer square).

Minn. woman charged with aiding terrorists refuses to rise for judge

update on Minn. women face Oct. 3 trial on terror charge

  NPR St. Paul, Minn. — A woman whose trial opened Monday on charges of supporting a Somali terrorist group refused to rise for the judge, prompting her to be ejected from her own trial. Amina Farah Ali sat quietly as Chief U.S. District Judge Michael Davis entered the room. Her attorney, Daniel Scott, said she was interpreting a line of the Koran that said she will "not rise for a person when she does not rise for the prophet." After Davis confirmed with Ali's attorney that she was instructed to rise for the judge, he ordered her to be taken into custody by U.S. Marshals. A marshal handcuffed Ali, who was dressed in a black head-to-toe hijab, and escorted her out of the room. After about 45 minutes, Ali was called back into the courtroom and Davis asked her if she would stand as ordered. "I'll not stand for anyone except for Allah," Ali responded. Davis said Ali could stay for jury selection but will have to watch the trial from a monitor in a separate room in future proceedings if she continues to refuse to stand when instructed to do so. Her attorney will be allowed to take breaks to consult with her. "No one is asking her to give up her religion," Davis said. "She does not have a First Amendment Right not to stand." Davis added that he needed to maintain the decorum of the courtroom."It's disruptive and causes great harm to the administration of justice if you have not followed my basic rules," he said. Scott, Ali's attorney, said there are different interpretations of the line in the Koran that Ali cited in not standing. The other defendant in the case, Hawo Mohamed Hassan, did rise for the judge. Hassan's attorney had asked Davis to grant his client a separate trial, arguing that the evidence disproportionately focuses on Ali's alleged activities. But Davis denied the request. The trial began Monday with jury selection, after Ali and Hassan were charged with raising money in the Somali-American community to aid al-Shabab, which the U.S. considers a terrorist organization. Its members embrace a radical form of Islam similar to the Taliban in Afghanistan, and seek to overthrow the government in Somalia. The indictment alleges that the women raised money by making direct appeals to people in teleconferences, "In which they and other speakers encouraged financial contributions to support violent jihad in Somalia."

According to court filings, the government plans to show evidence that the two women transferred money to terrorists, and that Ali helped coordinate and pay for the travels of seven men who wanted to join the jihad in Somalia in September 2008. It's not clear from the court documents whether those men included the Minnesotans who left for Somalia to train with al-Shabab. The women say they're not guilty. In a 2009 interview with MPR, Amina Ali said she and her friend collected used clothing and sent it back to Somalia. "I explained to them that the reason I was doing this was because there's a civil war happening in my country," said Ali. "There were a lot of people displaced from their own homes, and going to refugee camps all over the continent of Africa, including outside of Mogadishu. So, my instincts told me it was my duty to help out the Somali poor people who left everything behind."

Dhobley is under control of forces from the self-declared state of Azania, an anti-Shabaab militia reportedly backed by Kenya to create a buffer zone along the troubled frontier."We have fully regained Dhobley after a fight, the Shabaab were pushed out of the area," the Azanian commander added, declining to be named.Civilian casualties are reported to be high with fighting inside the town itself.However, a senior Shabaab commander said his fighters had made a tactical withdrawal a short distance outside the town after intense fighting."The enemy suffered heavy casualties as planned, and we will return back again when it is good for us," said Sheikh Mohamed, claiming that Shabaab fighters had also seized large stores of weapons from the town.

Dhobley is just 5km from the Kenyan border, and is a key crossing point for people fleeing to the giant Dadaab refugee camps, some 100km into eastern Kenya.Dadaab, the largest refugee complex in the world houses some 450 000 people, with 140 000 Somalis fleeing drought, famine or violence arriving this year alone, according to the UN refugee agency.Civilians and fighters were reported to have crossed the border towards the Kenyan town of Liboi, while Kenyan tanks and helicopters were reported in the area.- AFP Via new24

American Traitor Anwar al-Awlaki Killed in Yemen! Upd: SAMIR KHAN, Threatened Rusty's Family, Dead!

Senior Al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki and another America-born militant were killed in Yemen early Friday morning by a CIA-led U.S. drone strike, marking the highest-profile takedown of terror leaders since the raid on Usama bin Laden's compound.

Fox News has learned that two Predator drones hovering above al-Awlaki's convoy fired the Hellfire missiles which killed the terror leader. According to a senior U.S. official, the operation was carried out by Joint Special Operations Command, under the direction of the CIA.

President Obama called the strike a major "milestone" in the fight against Al Qaeda and its affiliates.
"The death of Awlaki is a major blow to Al Qaeda's most active operational affiliate," Obama said Friday. "He took the lead in planning and directing efforts to murder innocent Americans ... and he repeatedly called on individuals in the United States and around the globe to kill innocent men, women and children to advance a murderous agenda."

Ashland man faces terrorism charges

ASHLAND - An Ashland man who holds a physics degree from Northeastern University was charged yesterday with an Al Qaeda-inspired plot to send a remote-controlled aircraft carrying explosives into the Pentagon and the US Capitol “to kill as many people as possible,’’ according to a complaint filed in federal court.Tweet ShareThis Rezwan Ferdaus, 26, a US citizen whose only known previous crime was vandalism, told FBI agents working undercover as Al Qaeda members that he wanted to “change the world,’’ according to the complaint.“I just can’t stop; there is no other choice for me,’’ he told the agents, according to an affidavit written by FBI Special Agent Gary S. Cacace.“This is what we have to do. This is the righteous way . . . to terrorize enemies of Allah,’’ he said, calling for the deaths of any kafir, the Arabic term for nonbeliever.Federal officials said that at no point did Ferdaus have sole control of explosive materials, such as C-4, or guns and that he was closely monitored by the FBI during his alleged plotting in the past year. But they also say that he was repeatedly questioned about his plans and that he was committed to carrying out the attacks.
“Our top priority is to protect our nation from terrorism and national security threats,’’ US Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz said in a statement.“The conduct alleged today shows that Mr. Ferdaus had long planned to commit violent acts against our country, including attacks on the Pentagon and our nation’s Capitol.’’She and Richard DesLauriers, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston division, said the arrest should not reflect on the larger Muslim community.Prosecutors say that Ferdaus modified mobile phones to act as electrical switches for improvised explosive devices and that he gave eight of them to the FBI undercover agents, who he thought were Al Qaeda recruiters. According to the affidavit, when told that one of the devices had killed three US soldiers and injured at least four others in Iraq, he exclaimed, “That was exactly what I wanted.’’Also, prosecutors said that Ferdaus had already hatched a plan to attack federal buildings before he met the undercover agents in March 2011. He later traveled to Washington, D.C., and took pictures of the Pentagon and the Capitol. He subsequently received at least $7,000 from the agents to purchase one of the remote-controlled planes, which was the size of a human body. The agents also delivered 25 pounds of C-4 explosives, three grenades, and six AK-47 assault rifles to Ferdaus. He planned to recruit other men to shoot at people fleeing the Pentagon, prosecutors said.Ferdaus obtained the first plane in August. He then had the undercover agents deliver the explosive materials and guns yesterday to a storage facility in Framingham that he had rented to plan his attacks. Once he took possession of the materials, he was arrested.Continued
