Gunmen storm Nairobi Mall, 15 killed: Red Cross

Gunmen storm Nairobi Mall, 15 killed: Red Cross

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/...98K03V20130921

"(Reuters) - Gunmen stormed a shopping mall in Nairobi on Saturday killing at least 15 people in what Kenya's government said might be a terrorist attack, and sending scores fleeing into shops, a cinema and onto the streets in search of safety...."

The story has a slide show that shows mostly the police is action.

When I first glanced at them it was hard to tell they were the police.

Witness: Kenya mall attackers target non-Muslims

Witness: Kenya mall attackers target non-Muslims

"Elijah Kamau, who was at the mall at the time of the midday attack, said that the gunmen made a declaration that non-Muslims would be targeted.

"The gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave. They were safe, and non-Muslims would be targeted," he said........"

The insight here is obvious....even tho they were assumed to be all Kenyan's and then equally resp. for the troops in Somalis the divider is Islam....did the Muslim Kenyan's breathe a sigh of relief as they walked out?
Would they stand by while non Muslim Kenyan's were slaughtered as most Muslims do in every other pred. Islamic State?
Yes, if recent history is a teaching tool.
