Oh no..prayers.
From the BBC live link I posted:
1938: British journalist Daniel Howden was at the scene of the attack.
Speaking to BBC News, he described harrowing eyewitness accounts, including one witness who said he was released by the attackers after showing his ID with a Muslim-sounding name.
He added that an Indian man who was standing next to him was asked for the name of the Prophet’s mother and when he was unable to answer, he was shot dead.

Horrible. Just catching up.
Thanks for the ping.
NOW: Very heavy gunfire at kenya shopping mall. Perhaps final assault on gunmen. Must keep hostages in mind.
SNIP
The Kenya National Disaster Operation Centre said an uncertain number of shoppers and staff were being held by the gunmen, as a massive police and army operation went on into the early hours of Sunday -- more than 12 hours after the attack began.
It also said that security forces had managed to free five hostages in the early hours of the morning.
SNIP
Two Canadians killed in mall assault.
One a diplomat.
This won't be in the news at all. It doesn't fit the Left's template. Just like the shooting in Chicago the other day, completely ignored.
This could never happen here. Please turn in your weapons ASAP.
Per BBC:
1125: Israeli forces have entered Westgate centre, the AFP news agency reports an unnamed security source as saying.
AP reporter on scene says two explosions at mall within last half hour.
Two names of terrorists with al-Shabaab are from th U.S.

I am perplexed by Drudge. Yesterday he had a link up on this story but took it down early afternoon. Since then not ONE headline on his site about this huge story.
