Al Shabaabs blodiga terror

Inte behöver jag förmedla några nyheter om de blodbad som islamismen anställt i helgen. Men det finns en intressant och av svenska medier hittills förbisedd aspekt: terroristernas hemorter. Här en hittills obekräftad namnlista på de deltagande i Kenya:

Here is the list (UNCONFIRMED!) of the alleged attackers released by Twitter account allegedly affiliated with Al-Shabaab:

Sayid N. from Kismayu, Somalia.
Zaki Jama C., from Hargeisa, Somalia
Saad D., from Damascus, Syria
Mohamed B., from Aleppo, Syria
Qasim Said M., Garissa, Kenya
Ismail G., from Helsinki, Finland
Ahmed Nasir S., from London, UK
Mustafa N., from Kansas City, US
Abdishakur Sheikh H., from Maine, US
Abdifatah Osman K., from Minneapolis, US
Ahmad Mohamed I., from Saint Paul, US
Abdikarem Ali M., from Illinois, US
Shafie D., from Tucson, US
Abdirazak M., from Ontario (Canada)
Eliko M., from Dagestan, Russia
Mohammed A., from Svalov, Sweden
Moulid A., from Sweden



Här ett  av terroristernas egna meddelanden. En stolt Svalövsterrorist! Men svensk???

Nog är det slående hur få av dessa somaliska islamister som rest från Somalia för att genomföra blodbadet. De flesta kommer från andra länder (England, USA, Kanada, Ryssland, Finland, Sverige). Kommer någon här hemma att dra några viktiga slutsatser? Tillåt mig tvivla. Ytterst betraktas ju somaliska terrorister bosatta i Sverige som "konstintresserade ungdomar" (vilket Lars Vilks och Röda Sten lärde oss i Göteborg).

Vita änkan. Terrorns "första dam"?

Igår frågade vi oss vilket stöd Al-Shabaab har i Kristianstad. Idag får vi alltså se att en av männen kommer från skånska Svalöv.

"The hostage situation is still going on with a unknown number of people still trapped inside Westgate and Kenyan police and military in the area. Meanwhile Al-Shabaab has released the names and places of origin of the alleged terrorist involved in the Westgate assault. It is no surprise the terror raid was carried out by a international terrorist cell of at least twelve Al-Shabaab fighters, some of which were at least raised in the West.

According to the terrorist group the attackers all between the age of 20 and 27 years old, are from numerous countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Syria and Russia and where all trained in Somalia.

The strategy of the “Mumbai Style Attack” reflects Al-Shabaab´s effort to carry out an attack outside of Somalia where the group faces huge challenges and suffered military defeat on various occasions.

 Per Gudmundson skriver om den finske jihadisten:

"Den tyske journalisten Florian Flade skriver på sin blogg Jih@d att al-Shabaab bland andra nämner en "Ismail G., from Helsinki, Finland".

Enligt uppgifter i brittisk press ska hela attacken ha planlagts och styrts av konvertiten "Vita änkan" från England:

"Kenyan anti-terror police revealed yesterday that Lewthwaite – who is known to many as the White Widow – may be the brains behind the operation to bring terror to the heart of Kenya, a country once  synonymous with the sexual high-jinks of the Happy Valley expatriate set, but rapidly becoming a new battleground in the war between Islamists and the West. ‘I suspect this woman Lewthwaite is behind this attack,’ a senior anti-terror source told me last night as survivors described how a woman in a veil appeared to be commanding the other terrorists as they hunted down and killed non-Muslim shoppers."
