      4) Worth noting once more that the #Shabaab remains #alQaeda’s most active affiliate, consistently claiming the most attacks & suicide operations while maintaining the largest swathes of territory. Group also focusing on spreading to neighboring countrieshttps://twitter.com/Rita_Katz/status/967128567137095682 …

      4) The threat from the #Shabaab remains an open wound for #Somalia—one that seems poised to spread to neighboring countries in #EastAfrica as the competition between #AQ and #ISIS manifests across the continent pic.twitter.com/oA67EjUmqV

      5) Update: #Shabaab issues update of its attack, stating that “fierce clashes are continuing” and calling the location “one of the most opulent areas of the Kenyan capital...where offices of international representatives are present.” Still no casualty counts provided as of yetpic.twitter.com/lAcB2lvwRi

      7) Update 9/16: Shabaab says attack started w car bomb, after which fighters stormed building, killing 47 so far (vs 15 acc to Kenyan press). Says compound “frequented by foreigners & international actors” to justify soft targets, esp after its unclaimed Oct2017 Mogadishu bombingpic.twitter.com/VeO8GsU5QY

      9) #Shabaab, just as opportunistic as it is dangerous, uses its #Nairobi attack to capitalize on Palestine issue by pointing out one attacker’s bandana reading “heading to Quds [#Jerusalem],” stating the attack “was directly related to” #Palestine and Trump’s support for Israelpic.twitter.com/0K2705IDDR

          10) First official statement from the #Shabaab on the DusitD2 hotel attack in #Nairobi #Kenya, titled "Jerusalem Will Never Belong to the Jews," is forthcoming. So far, the Shabaab's Shahada News Agency has been the only entity to claim and report on the attack on its behalf.pic.twitter.com/QLtaLbf2Gj

          11) Capitalizing on Palestine, Shabaab declares #Nairobi attack—as per AQ leader Ayman al-Zawahiri’s directive to target Western & "Zionist" interests—to be a “response to... president Donald Trump & his declaration of [Jerusalem] as the capital of Israel”https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Statements/shabaab-declares-nairobi-operation-as-following-zawahiri-s-directive-response-to-trump-s-jerusalem-declaration.html …
