"Islamic extremists kill 28 in attack on bus in Kenya; Al Shabab shoot non-Muslims at close range" by Tom Odula, Associated Press  November 23, 2014

NAIROBI — One gunman shot from the right, one from the left, each killing the non-Muslims lying in a line on the ground, growing closer and closer to Douglas Ochwodho, who was in the middle.

And then the shooting stopped. Apparently each gunman thought the other shot Ochwodho. He lay perfectly still until the 20 Islamic extremists left, and he appears to be the only survivor of those who had been selected for death.

Somalia’s Islamic extremist rebels, Al Shabab, attacked a bus in northern Kenya at dawn Saturday, singling out and killing 28 passengers who could not recite an Islamic creed and were assumed to be non-Muslims, Kenyan police said.

Islamic extremists has become code for western intelligence agency covert operations and propaganda.

Those who could not say the Shahada, a tenet of the Muslim faith, were shot at close range, Ochwodho said.

Same with the Mob.

Nineteen men and nine women were killed in the bus attack, Kenyan police chief David Kimaiyo said.

Al Shabab claimed responsibility for the killings through its radio station in Somalia, saying it was in retaliation for raids by Kenyan security forces carried out last week on four mosques on the Kenyan coast. 

Pffffft!

Kenya’s military said it responded to the killings with airstrikes later Saturday that destroyed the attackers’ camp in Somalia and killed 45 rebels.

“The United States condemns in the strongest terms today’s horrific attack in Kenya by the terrorist group al-Shabab against innocent civilians,’’ said Bernadette Meehan, the spokeswoman for the National Security Council in Washington.

‘‘The United States stands with our Kenyan partners in the effort to counter the threat of terrorism,’’ she said.

The unmistakable and rank-rot stench of a false flag or fake.

The bus traveling to the capital, Nairobi, with 60 passengers was hijacked about 31 miles from the town of Mandera near Kenya’s border with Somalia, said two police officers, who insisted on anonymity because they were ordered not to speak to the press.

The attackers first tried to wave the bus down, but it didn’t stop, so the gunmen sprayed it with bullets, the police said. When that didn’t work, they shot a rocket-propelled grenade at it, the officers said.

The gunmen took control of the vehicle and forced it off the road, where they ordered passengers out of the vehicle and separated those who appeared to be non-Muslims — mostly non-Somalis — from the rest.

The survivor, Douglas Ochwodho, a non-Muslim head teacher of a private primary school in Mandera, said he was traveling home for the Christmas vacation because school had closed.

The non-Somali passengers were then asked to recite the Shahada, an Islamic creed declaring oneness with God. Those who couldn’t recite the creed were ordered to lie down. Ochwodho was among those who had to lie on the ground.

Two gunmen started shooting those on the ground; one gunman started from the left and other from the right, Ochwodho said. When they reached him, they were confused about whether either had shot him, he said.

Given that the attack on the Westgate Mall was staged and scripted production, what are we to make of this?

"Kenyan women march for right to wear modern clothes" by Jason Straziuso, Associated Press November 18, 2014

NAIROBI — The grainy mobile phone video shows a mob of Kenyan men surround a woman and grab and yank her clothes until she is naked. Several such videos have emerged recently of attacks by males who deem a woman to be provocatively dressed.

Maybe it's true, but I no longer believe in videos cited in my ma$$ media whatever they be.

The attacks have created a groundswell of anger that saw protesters, most of them women, flood downtown Nairobi on Monday.

The hashtag #MyDressMyChoice is trending in Kenya’s social media, as this East African country sees a clash between new, Western lifestyles, and traditional African ways.

With all due respect, I'm seeing another Nigerian fraud here.

Rachel Machua wore what she called ‘‘a little black dress . . . my normal outfit’’ to Monday’s protest. She views the recent attacks as stemming from socioeconomic conditions: Lower income men are attacking successful, well-dressed women.

The attacks are not overtly religious in nature, though this is a conservative, mostly Christian country. The women at the march described ‘‘normal’’ levels of sexual harassment over the years and said that peers will warn other women that ‘‘you’re gonna get undressed’’ for wearing a particular outfit.

‘‘Kenyan men are in different groups. My father wanted me to be here and said you can dress however you want. Then there are others who think you are out of their reach and they try to victimize you,’’ said Machua, 26, who runs an aid group called Transforming Generations.

Women play an active role in Kenyan society. The country’s foreign minister is a woman, though few women hold high-ranking elected office. Parliament is a virtual men’s club, unlike in neighboring Rwanda, where more than half of Parliament is female.

After the recent attacks, elderly Kenyan women are said to have rescued the naked victims by giving them a shawl to cover up.

About 10 percent of the approximately 1,000 people marching through the streets were men.

In a separate development Monday, Kenyan police said they had carried out raids on two mosques in Mombasa in an operation that killed one person and resulted in 251 arrests. The raids netted eight grenades and a pistol. The authorities said more than 500 security personnel took part in the raids.

The police said the person killed had tried to throw a grenade at them as they moved into the Masjid Musa mosque, a place of worship that officials say also harbors radical Muslims.

Officials have said that some Kenyan Muslims have links with the Somali terrorist group Al Shabab.

More affectionately known as "Al-CIA-Bob," and they got run out of Somalia.

They also the ones killing off cops?

NEXT DAY UPDATE: 

Kenyans demand security from attacks

In response Kenyan authorities have shut down mosques, carried out mass arrests of Muslims, and, according to rights activists, have sometimes killed Muslim leaders, acts that critics worry serve to perpetuate the cycle of violence.

Allegations that police manning the border checkpoints with Somalia allowed the Mandera attackers through must be investigated, said one of the country’s largest papers, the Daily Nation, in an editorial Monday. The paper questioned the police force’s commitment to fighting terrorism.
