U.S. Special Forces Capture al-Qaeda Leader!

The Libyan government and Somali government confirms that the U.S. carried out clandestine missions to capture a high value targets in North Africa.

The United States government may be in a shutdown, but the doesn't stop the military from carrying out attacks.

The American military were instructed to capture Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai (best known as Abu Anas al-Liby). He is one of the masterminds involved in the U.S. Embassy attacks in 1998. The attacks were carried out in Kenya and Tanzania by al-Qaeda.

He was one of the backers of the attack. At its peak, al-Qaeda was most prevalent in Africa, East Asia and the Middle East. They've vowed to carry out attacks against Western targets.

In Tripoli, he was captured after he left morning prayers. He got the shock of his life when he saw masked men with firearms shoved in his face.

Al-Liby was arrested in Tripoli, Libya on Saturday by United States Special Forces, reportedly from the United States Army Special Forces Operational Detachment - DELTA aka Delta Force with the assistance of FBI agents and CIA officers. He was arrested in broad daylight and removed from Libya.

Navy SEALs conducted a simultaneous raid in Somalia targeting the alleged mastermind of the Westgate shopping mall shooting in Kenya, possibly to avoid either action sending the targets into hiding.

The FBI and Kenyan authorities are searching for the British born woman Samantha Lewthwaite. She is a high value target because of a possible role in the Westgate shopping mall incident.

Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri is the current leader of the terrorist organization. He along with fifteen other members (including an American) are wanted for the attacks on Americans and the 9/11 event.

The White Widow On The Run!

Authorities seek the arrest of British born woman who has ties to terrorist groups.

Interpol, Kenyan authorities, the U.S. Justice Department and New Scotland Yard want this woman.

Samantha Lewthwaite, the UK born woman who is White has alleged ties to Somali-based extremists al-Shabaab. The group is linked to the mass shooting at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya.

Law enforcement figured that she has the knowledge of "westernized culture" and the know how to plot an attack on "soft targets".

Samantha Louise Lewthwaite, (born December 5 1983), also known as Sherafiyah Lewthwaite or the White Widow, is the widow of 7/7 suicide bomber Germaine Lindsay and one of the world's most wanted terrorism suspects.

Her in 2004.

She was a westernized girl from Northern Ireland who had married Germaine Lindsay the Boston transit bomber who launch multiple attacks on the buses and subways on July 7, 2005.

Then Prime Minister Gordon Brown and then President George W. Bush express outrage and warned that extremism in the United Kingdom and the United States will merit swift justice.

She is an alleged member of the Somali radical Islamic militant group, Al-Shabaab.

She has been accused of orchestrating grenade attacks at non-Muslim places of worship, and is believed to have been behind an attack on those watching football in a bar in Mombasa during Euro 2012.

In September 2013, the Kenyan government said there was a strong possibility of her being involved in the Nairobi mall attack, although other reports cast doubt on this.

Lewthwaite was named as a possible suspect involved in a September 2013 attack claimed by Al-Shabaab on a Nairobi mall.

As of September 24, there was media speculation that she was one of the dead.

These reports were viewed with caution by UK government officials, and there was no confirmation of Lewthwaite's involvement as an attacker, organiser or fundraiser.

Al-Shabaab issued a statement on September 24 saying no women were involved in the attack.

Early reports suggested that witnesses had claimed a white woman shouted orders in Arabic; however Kim Sengupta of The Independent questioned why she would be speaking Arabic to Somalians, some of whom spoke English.

There were reports that American born teens and young adults were orchestrating an attack on the mall. '

Germaine Lindsay and Samantha Lewthwaite with child. Before Lindsay went on his suicide attack, Lewthwaite was pregnant with his second child. She took up the cause for al-Shabaab. Her whereabouts are somewhere in Northern Africa. Interpol wants this woman. The U.S. Justice Department seeks information on this woman because of involvement in failed attacks on the United States by American born cleric turned terrorist. Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in 2011. 

Kenyan authorities have singled out Muslim teens who lived in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Some have left their families to join the fight in Somalia.

This was a trial run for much bigger attacks on malls in the Western nations (i.e. United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, France, Germany, and Canada). The extremists are hoping to make moves on "soft targets".

Stadiums, casinos, malls, annual events, schools, hospitals, transit stations and museums are soft targets for terrorism.

CNN reports that she condemned the attacks but then vanished. Now, Kenyan authorities say, she is the infamous "White Widow," alleged to be a supporter and financier of people linked to the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab.

Reports that a white woman was among the terrorists who stormed Nairobi, Kenya's, upscale Westgate Shopping Mall on Saturday -- an operation for which Al-Shabaab claimed responsibility -- have prompted a slew of media speculation that she might have been involved.

After the London attacks, she denied having knowledge of the plans. Later, Kenyan authorities said, she emerged in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa and became part of a terror cell linked to Al-Shabaab.

In December 2011, Kenyan authorities raided three homes in Mombasa, including one allegedly used by Lewthwaite, and arrested some people on suspicion of planning to destroy a bridge, a ferry and hotels frequented by Western tourists.

At Lewthwaite's residence, investigators found the kind of bomb-making materials that were used in the London attacks, Kenyan counterterror police said. But Lewthwaite was not found.

A security guard who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity in 2012 said he saw a white woman leave the residence hours before the raid. Authorities have yet to catch up to her.

Kenyan authorities also suspect Lewthwaite of hatching a plot to break fellow Briton Jermaine Grant out of jail after he was arrested in connection with the alleged Mombasa plot.

NRA: It's Not The Guns Fault!

Wayne LaPierre is a gun rights advocate and huge bonehead.

In Ohio a man shoots a 12-year old girl in the face.

In Florida, George Zimmerman was accused by his wife Shellie that he threatened her and her father with a firearm.

In Colorado, two state senators were recalled after they supported one of the state's most strictest gun control laws. And even in that state, a young girl gets a lead suit when she surprised her armed friend.

A little girl loses her life in a self-inflicted shooting at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

A little boy injures his sister. The father wants the little boy to tell the law that it was just an accident and he didn't have a custom size firearm.

A shooting at Washington, DC shooting at the Navy Yard. That mass shooting ended up killing over 12 people and the gunman was killed by the law enforcement.

A shooting in Chicago injures 12 and a little boy was one of the victims.

And of course, even overseas, there was a mass shooting at a suburban mall in The Republic of Kenya.

And on GOP Sundays, Wayne LaPierre once again uses the narrative, that "more good guys with guns" would prevent violence.

Once again, violence is violence. It's a no win situation for a gun shooting victim. Whether it's pulled by a criminal or a law enforcement officer, it's an injury or death.

The spokesperson for the National Rifle Association has been the most colorful figure of the gun rights movement.

He stands firm in this notion that if there were more guns, then mass shootings would have been prevented.

The controversial statements aren't helpful to those who lost family members in mass shootings.

The National Rifle Association's muscle is the voter with a gun. Democrats and Republicans fear the NRA because of its impact on elections. The NRA can scream they're coming for your guns, and those Elmer Fudds would vote Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny out of office.

Are American-Born Terrorists Involved The Nairobi Mall Shooting? [NSFW]

American born Abu Mansoor al-Amriki (previously known as Omar Shafik Hammami) rapped a verse for young Muslim men to join al-Shabaab's fight against Westerners. He played a big boy game and lost. The CIA and FBI have claims that the American born terrorist was killed on September 12, 2013 in a gunfight in Somalia.

The terrorist attack at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya has claimed 70 lives. We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this senseless tragedy.

The group al-Shabaab claims responsibility in carrying out the deadly attack on the suburban mall. Many foreign nationals shop there and it's pretty much a westernized facility.

President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder were notified to the acknowledgement that its a possibility of Americans being associated with the terrorist group.

Mass causality event in Nairobi, Kenya.

On GOP Sundays, Congressman Peter King (R-New York) has made his case to profile Muslims again. He was on bitching about how American Muslims from the Midwest and Northwest are dropping the flags and picking up the firearms.

Hey, King, you want more guns in the hands of Americans. Aren't these men entitled to have a firearm?

It was reported that men who lived in Minnesota gave up their American lifestyle to join the Somali based terrorist organization al-Shabaab. Sometimes the group would carry out attacks in support of al-Qaeda.

More than 200 people in a mass shooting. Islamist group al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the incident and characterised it as retribution for the Kenyan military's actions in Somalia, with many media outlets suspecting the Somali-based group in line with their warnings following Operation Linda Nchi in 2011–2012.

The look of fear in Kenya. People fleeing the Westgate Mall in Nairobi.

On Saturday, masked gunmen attacked the upscale Westgate shopping mall during an annual children's day event. The fighting was ongoing with armed police at least 20 hours later.

The gunmen reportedly carried assault rifles and wore combat fatigues. There were additional reports of grenade explosions. Police surrounded the area and urged residents to stay away. A report indicated that about 80 people were trapped in the basement, but police said that they had escorted some shoppers to safety and were trying to capture the gunmen.

This gives the American news media agitators another phobia. A mass shooting at a mall carried out by those "evil Muslims" and not that crazy White guy or Black guy!

Yeah, our weaknesses are to blind to others. We see something and we don't report it. If you see someone acting suspiciously, you look the other way. You notice a guy going into a public facility with a large amount of carry on bags, you think it's just another worker or some guy with a lot of bags.

The Associated Press release the causality count of those killed in the mass shooting.


Three British citizens.
Two Canadians, one of whom was the liaison officer Anne-Marie Desloges with the Canadian Border Services Agency.
A Chinese woman.
A pregnant Dutch woman and her Australian husband, architect Ross Langdon.
Two French citizens.

A South Korean woman Kang Moon-hee, who lived in the UK with her British husband, also injured by gunshots.

At least 68 people have died, according to the Kenyan Red Cross, and 175 wounded.

Eyewitnesses were reported to have seen 50 bodies in the mall.

Mass causalities.

In addition, 36 people were taken hostage at the supermarket and a jewelry store; other eyewitnesses also said that they had seen dozens wounded. An unnamed local hospital reported that it was overwhelmed with the number of wounded being brought in and that it had consequently diverted victims to a second facility.

Secretary to the Cabinet Francis Kimemia wrote on Twitter that 293 people had received treatment at three hospitals in the area and that they "are appealing for more blood." The National Disaster Operation Centre said that the wounded ranged in age from two to 78 as it urged people to "remember them in your prayers."

The United States State Department reported that four U.S. citizens were injured in the attack.

Al-Shabaab claimed to have killed over 100 Kenyans.

Indian Media reports that one Indian Man was killed by Terrorists when he failed to answer a query regarding Islam.

Al-Shabaab's Twitter outlet posted messages, amongst them some read: "The attacks are just retribution for the lives of innocent Muslims shelled by Kenyan jets in Lower Jubba and in refugee camps;"

"What Kenyans are witnessing at #Westgate is retributive justice for crimes committed by their military, albeit largely miniscule in nature;"

"Since our last contact, the Mujahideen inside the mall confirmed to @HSM_Press that they killed over 100 Kenyan kuffar & battle is ongoing;" "For long we have waged war against the Kenyans in our land, now it’s time to shift the battleground and take the war to their land;"

"The attack at #WestgateMall is just a very tiny fraction of what Muslims in Somalia experience at the hands of Kenyan invaders;"

"The Kenyan government, however, turned a deaf ear to our repeated warnings and continued to massacre innocent Muslims in Somalia."

[The] "Kenyan government shall be held responsible for any loss of life as a result of such an imprudent move. The call is yours!" and "Kenyan forces who’ve just attempted a roof landing must know that they are jeopardizing the lives of hostages."

Twitter suspended their account before the attack had ended

There are conflicting reports that there were as many as 14 gunmen. Some of the gunmen were women.

It's a damn shame that we here in the United States turn a blind eye to the chaos.

Gun control isn't a taking away the guns. It's about preventing them from ending up in the hands of terrorists, street gangs, racial extremists, human smugglers, drug pushers, mentally insane and those who have no proper training.

Developments will continue as they become available.

Tragedy In Nairobi!

Westgate Mall in nearby Nairobi, Kenya dealing with a tragedy.

There was a horrible tragedy in the country of Kenya. Militant extremists took hostage of hundreds of innocent shoppers at a Nairobi mall. They've ended up killing 59 people.

Even in foreign nations, gun crimes happens. This type of incident is considered terrorism. Muslim extremists who have ties to al-Shabab, a North African terrorist group confirms they're involved. They came they are to kill the Westerners and Kenyans who support them.

There were Americans injured. Some Canadian, French and Chinese nationals were killed in this incident.

We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to those lost in this senseless tragedy.

The Associated Press reports that multiple barrages of gunfire erupted Sunday morning from inside the building where hostages are being held by militants. The radicals attacked the mall Saturday and remained inside throughout the night.

The look of fear.

"The priority is to save as many lives as possible," Joseph Lenku said, reassuring the families of the hostages in the upscale Westgate mall. Kenyan forces have already rescued about 1,000 people, he said.

Ten to 15 attackers remain in the mall and Kenyan forces control the security cameras inside the shopping center, Lenku said. Combined military and police forces surrounded the mall in the Westlands neighborhood of Nairobi, which is frequented by foreigners and wealthy Kenyans.

Former Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga told reporters at the mall that he has been told officials couldn't determine the exact number of hostages inside the mall.

"There are quite a number of people still being held hostage on the third floor and the basement area where the terrorists are still in charge," Odinga said.

Somalia's al-Qaida-linked rebel group, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the attack in which they used grenades and assault rifles and specifically targeted non-Muslims.

Kenyans and foreigners were among those confirmed dead, including French, Canadians and Chinese.

Americans were among the injured and killed.

A 38-year-old Chinese woman was killed in the shopping mall "terror attack," the Chinese Embassy in Kenya said in a statement Sunday. Her son was injured in the attack and in a stable condition in hospital, according to the statement posted on the embassy's website.

Nineteen people, including at least four children, died after being admitted to Nairobi's MP Shah hospital, said Manoj Shah, the hospital's chairman. "We have at least two critical patients currently, one with bullets lodged near the spine," he said.

The hospital continued to receive patients Sunday, he said.

Ghanain poet Kofi Awoonor died after being injured in the attack, Ghana's presidential office confirmed.

Kenya's presidential office said that one of the attackers was arrested on Saturday and died after suffering from bullet wounds.

Trucks brought in a fresh contingent of soldiers from the Kenya Defense Forces early Sunday.

"Violent extremists continue to occupy Westgate Mall. Security services are there in full force," said the United States embassy in an emergency text message issued Sunday morning.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said late Saturday that his government had sent a rapid deployment team to Kenya to help. Britons had undoubtedly been caught up in the "callous and cowardly and brutal" assault at the Westgate mall, said Hague.

The United Nations Security Council condemned the attacks and "expressed their solidarity with the people and Government of Kenya" in a statement.

There was some good news on Sunday, as Kenyan media reported that several people in hiding in the mall escaped to safety, suggesting that not everyone who is still inside is being held by al-Shabab.

Cecile Ndwiga said she had been hiding under a car in the basement parking garage.

"I called my husband to ask the soldiers to come and rescue me. Because I couldn't just walk out anyhow. The shootout was all over here – left, right_ just gun shots," she said.

Nairobi resident Paolo Abenavoli said he is holed up in his apartment only 100 meters from the mall with a direct view of the entrance. He said he could see a dozen or more security forces inside a first floor restaurant.

Gunman have taking hostage of innocent shoppers.

"The battle is on now," Abenavoli told The Associated Press by telephone as the fresh gunfire broke out Sunday.

Security forces had pushed curious crowds far back from the mall. Hundreds of residents gathered on a high ridge above the mall to watch for any activity.

This is an ongoing event and we will continue to follow this.

Again, we're back on the issue of guns.

The arm chair warriors and agitators in the media have the "would of", "should of", "could of" and the "If I was..." nonsense.

Let's make this clear, you never know what happens until you're in an event where a mass shooting has occurred. Yeah, those who are lucky to "take out the threat" are bold to say at least.

Law enforcement know the rules of "life and death". They have a limited time span when it comes to an event where it requires special operations. This situation merits the notion that what could happen if we done this or that?

Why would you think that you could do something when a gunman is shooting at you?

If I was in a mass shooting event, I would high tail it out of there! I don't want to be a hero.

I rather be a living coward than a dead hero! If I had the opportunity to shoot a threat, I would!

But if the threat is gunning for me and I have no escape, either I fight or flee!

I don't fear death. But in no way I'm a law enforcement officer, a military officer or a trained security guard.

For every crime committed by a Black person (even overseas), the racial extremists will always figure that "it's one of Obama's sons".
