Invoking the horrific jihad attack on Kenya’s Westgate Mall in Nairobi two years ago, a new video by al-Shabab operatives calls on their murderous brethren to do the same at new shopping complexes around the world. Canada’s West Edmonton Mall and Minnesota’s Mall of America were name-checked. As was London’s Oxford Street.

Here in the U.S., the crack staff at DHS is on it. They got right to work…telling shoppers to “be careful.”

If only the jihadists had more “access” to midnight basketball and make-work jobs, this would not be happening.
