Al-Shabaab threatens to attack shopping malls in UK, U,S,A and Canada

Somalia-based terror group, Al-Shabaab released a video online over the weekend calling for attacks on shopping malls in Canada, the UK and the United States. The video shows 6 minutes of graphic images and the terrorists celebrating the 2013 Westgate mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya, the attack that killed more than 60 people.

The narrator had his face wrapped and wore a camouflage jacket, spoke with a British Accent and appeared to be of Somali origin.

U.S. authorities said there was "no credible" evidence suggesting a U.S. mall attack was in the works

''We will continue to monitor events with the help of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies," Mall of America said in a statement. "As always, we take any potential threat seriously and respond appropriately. Mall of America has implemented extra security precautions, some may be noticeable to guests, and others won't be. We will continue to follow the situation, along with law enforcement, and will remain vigilant as we always do in similar situations''


Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on NBC's Meet The Press that “there needs to be an awareness.
"We're in a new phase now, and I'm afraid that this most recent video release reflects that," Joshnson said during an appearance on ABC's This Week.
Al Shabaab, Somalia's Islamic extremist rebels, claimed responsibility for a Friday attack on a hotel in Somalia's capital that killed 25 people and wounded 40, the country's government said Saturday.
