Our Jihadist enemies continually remind us of the nature of the war they are waging against us. However, our politicians and corrupt media refuse to see or acknowledge the truth…

The al Shabaab terrorist group in Somalia is claiming responsibility for the Christmas day attack on the African Union base in Mogadishu that killed at least three peacekeepers and a civilian contractor last Thursday.

At least eight al Shabaab gunmen infiltrated the base and carried out the attack, which was initiated while the AU base was hosting a Christmas party. The al-Qaeda-linked extremist group’s military operations spokesman, Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, told Reuters that the barrage was specifically designated to be carried out while Christmas was being celebrated on the base.

“We targeted the enemies at a time they were celebrating Christmas,” Musab said.

LATE ADDITION: Leader of Christmas Day attack was Kenyan citizen

This is significant as it is further evidence of the spread of Al Shabaab’s Jihadist ideology beyond Somalia…

According to an audio produced and posted in Pro Al Shabaab militant group media Somali Memo, A Kenyan citizen was leading the group attack targeted at African Union main base in Somali capital Mogadishu.

The 11 minute audio which was recorded before the attack features the Kenyan Omar Said who said is prepared to die by attacking what he terms as infidels and enemies of Islam.

Kenyan who speaks in broken Somali further says that he is motivated by his dream while in heaven days before the attack.

Kenyan government believes that there are significant citizens among the ranks of Al Shabaab in Somalia that are facilitating the retaliatory attacks back home.

Al Shabaab militant group has also previously confirmed number of trained Kenyans among its fighters in Somalia.
