The group said in a statement picked up by the SITE monitoring group that its fighters stormed the DusitD2 complex on instructions by Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

"It is a response to the witless remarks of the US president, Donald Trump, and his declaration of Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of Israel," said Al-Shabaab.

The assault with guns and explosives claimed the lives of 21 people as it unfolded Tuesday in the complex, which includes a 101-room hotel, spa, restaurant and offices.

All five of the terrorists were killed before an operation by rescue forces to rescue trapped civilians and clear buildings ended 20 hours later.

The Al-Shabaab statement was entitled: "Al-Quds (Jerusalem) will never be Judaized," according to SITE.

Africa ignored once again. This is the first I heard that there even was an attack.

A reminder al-Shabaab still remains a deadly threat in the Horn of Africa.

It must be very frustrating for Shabaabi boys. “We’re such a deadly threat, but nobody notices. Damn. Why do we have to be in Africa?”

Maybe Mossad will do the world a favor and just find them and rub them out one by one.

Then he’d invite them to kill the US Ambassador so that they’ll feel better.

“...on instructions by Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri”

I’m surprised that after all these years Zawahiri is still alive. I know there’s still a big bounty out on his head. I thought by now that he’d have gotten a fatal case of “lead” poisoning.

It was on the internet last night, Eastern Standard Time - my son who hangs out on Wikipedia told me - and in the Wall Street Journal today.

So strange. That was the same excuse they used when they burned the Alexandria Library. *cough* Maybe Mooooslims are simply good at destruction, and nothing else.

Kenyan security forces sent the five terrorists straight to Allah.

Im surprised they waited this long to attack America.

Five fewer Islamic goat humpers on earth.

Yeah, it couldn’t possibly have anything to do with muhHamhead’s (Pigs be inseminating him) commandments of murder misogyny and mayhem!

A few years ago we did a game park safari to one of Kenya's major national parks...which was a great distance from Nairobi.During the long drive I got to talking with James,our guide,about Kenya.When the subject got to politics he went on and on about illegal Somalis who were present in Kenya.

He said that many of them were terrorists bent on bringing down Kenya's government.

He didn't like Somalis *one little bit*.

Nope,not a racist...James was 100% African.However he *did* tell us that he was a Christian so he was probably one of those hateful,intolerant (and murderous) Bible thumpers.

Your beloved Prime Minister would be *very* disappointed to hear you say that! ;-)

Don't know about clinging but we gave him a tip for the outstanding job he did that,I believe,caused him to be anything but bitter.And it was in Euros...not Kenyan Schillings. But seriously...what he was saying about Somalis was quite prescient.Not long after we left Kenya that big attack at the shopping mall in Nairobi occurred...carried out by Somalis.In fact,that happened not far from the hotel we stayed at in Nairobi.
