Islamist Terrorists Brutally Attack Shopping Mall in Kenya
ICC expresses grave concern over the horrific terrorist attack that took place at a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya, over the weekend. On Monday afternoon, Kenyan forces again raided the mall, killing two additional members of the Al-Shabaab terrorist group. They reclaimed control of the shopping center, moving closer to an end of the hostage situation that began on Saturday and claimed the lives of at least 69 people. This is the latest in Al-Shabaab’s campaign of terror, motivated by Islamic extremism, targeting Christians and non-Muslims across East Africa.
