Terror group swears to destroy Canada, US, and UK

Terror group Al-Shabaab has released a video calling for attacks on shopping malls in Canada, the UK and the United States.

In the propaganda video released Saturday, the al Qaeda-linked terror group talks about its September 2013 attack on a mall in Kenya. The brazen siege, which went on for days, left more than 60 people dead at an upscale mall in Nairobi.

In its new video, the terror group calls for similar attacks on malls in the three countries. Al-Shabaab identified specific malls, but CNN will not list them unless they respond publicly.

Mall of America late Saturday said it's aware of the threatening video that listed it as one of the potential targets.

"We take any potential threat seriously and respond appropriately," the Minnesota mall said in a statement. "We have implemented extra security precautions, some may be noticeable to guests and others won't be."

The Somalia-based terror group in the past has limited its attacks to the region.

In addition to Kenya and Somalia, it has also struck in Uganda, where it killed more than 70 people gathered to watch a World Cup soccer match in Kampala five years ago. Kenya and Uganda have sent their forces to neighboring Somalia to battle the extremists.

As the attacks get more daring, the international community has rallied to battle the militants.

Last year, the United States launched an airstrike in Somalia that killed the Al-Shabaab leader. The terror group later replaced him and vowed to avenge his death.

Sure they will. The mall attack in Kenya was by an organized group of guys with guns and grenades, not suicide bombers.
Also, these guys don't care about Islamic law - just look at the outrage ISIS has gotten in the region for incinerating captives, which denies them the possibility of a proper Islamic burial. As such, they will happily give themselves a pass - if they happened to damage a Quran, and it would have to be an actual Quran and not a translation or interpretation of it, they'd just say blame the guy who put it there or the one they were shooting at. Problem solved.

Dont care about Islamic law? Thats what they are trying to enforce even though its not to every detail.

And sure, im not saying its fail proof. Its a half baked idea but not necisarily the worst thoughts.

I'm amazed how with all these terror threats there still hasn't been another tragedy like 9/11 in the US.

This isn't a new one. Al-Shabaab is former component of Somalia's Islamic Courts Union that took over the ICU's role as the principle antagonist of the western-backed Transitional Federal Government when the ICU died in 2006, and has controlled a good chunk of Somalia since it took over. In recent years, it's lost some key territory to western forces, and has been taking out its frustration on those supporting its enemies - hence the Kenya mall attack.

It has no significant international presence, and its international footprint has mainly been cross-border raids. Unless it's been preparing well in advance, there's minimal risk of it staging a major attack on US, UK, or Canadian soil without assistance from another group. In fact, its "merger" with Al-Qaeda was mainly a bid for increased support for its Somali operations.

But lmao, I never understood why would a terrorist group consisting of a bunch of uneducated and poor idiots living in one of the poorest countries (Somalia) would think they can bring down the US, and the UK.
Oh, and Canada, of course :P

Indeed.

But seriously...shopping malls? If they were serious, they'd hit Wal-Marts. The melting pots of American trash society.

Why? I never badmouthed them, only the damn terrorists. And let's face it, many people join them because they are uneducated, and need money/a place to live because they are poor.
And if you think I should feel sorry for them because they join a hate group instead of trying to migrate to a good country for work, you are dumb.

And it seems like a Hoax:

The U.S. Homeland Security Department said on Sunday it was not aware of any specific plot against U.S. shopping malls, backing away from comments by the department's chief that he takes seriously a threat by Somali-based Islamist militants against the Mall of America in Minnesota and other shopping sites in the West.

Some U.S. and Canadian officials had earlier cast doubt on the credibility of the threat made in a video attributed to al Shabaab, which appeared to call for attacks on Western shopping areas, specifically mentioning Mall of America, the West Edmonton Mall in Canada, London's Oxford Street and sites in Paris.
