“The Westgate Mall is owned by an Israel company.”
That is a very telling sentence. Thank you.

Edward Mulindwa:
I think the Israelis are there two reasons;
1. To assist a friend in need. Israel has been a bankable ally of Kenya's going
back to the early days of Kenya's independence. Israel airlifted heavy
machinery in the aftermaths of the terrorist attack at the US embassy in
Nairobi 1998 that hastened the recovery phase of the attack.
2. Israel is there now to defend its property or, at least, to avenge its
attack. The Westgate Mall is owned by an Israel company.

The American have a permanent base in Mombasa I thought, do they have to fly
in? Which brings me back to my original question why are they not storming the
mall? 24 hours is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long these days.
Who is of value to hold this attack off?

Uhuru just acknowledged the presence of swift foreign assistance - meaning
Israelis and Americans. True.

Terrorist attack in Nairobi mall
AFP reports from a security source in Nairobi that Israeli special forces
joined the Kenyan military in storming the Westgate shopping mall, Sunday,
Sept. 22, to break the standoff with some dozen Al Qaeda-linked Somali Al
Shabaab gunmen barricaded there with hostages for the second day. The death
toll from the Saturday shooting-grenade attack has risen to 59 with 205 people
injured.
debkafile, the only world publication to reveal the Israeli involvement from
the start of the Nairobi mall attack Saturday, now discloses that the Israeli
commandos were airlifted to Kenya when the Westgate mall was first attacked.
Nairobi invoked a secret security pact between the two governments under which
Jerusalem guarantees military assistance should the Kenyan government be
threatened by a foreign force.
This was the first time Israeli special counter-terror forces have fought Al
Qaeda terrorists face to face on foreign soil. The Israeli foreign ministery
refused to confirm or deny any inovlvement in Kenya.
debkafile reported exclusively Saturday that the AQAP-backed Somali terrorists
singled the target out to hit two targets – Kenya and Israel
After releasing Muslims, the raiders held onto an unknown number of hostages,
some on the ground floor where Israeli shops are located; more in other parts
of the seven-floor building. Unknown too is the number of injured and possibly
dead victims, including foreigners, who are still trapped in the building.
American, British, Canadian and French citizens were reported killed or injured
in the initial attack Saturday.
The Kenyan and Israeli authorities have blanketed with secrecy the scene inside
the mall, from which a barrage of gunfire and explosions were heard during the
morning. Local police and special forces are trying to force the Islamist
gunmen to surrender and give up the hostages.
Israeli security experts are known to be assisting in the operation.
The US sent a commando unit to Nairobi from bases in Italy and the UK, an
advance counter-terror forward team. The Cobra cabinet is holding continuous
sessions in London as the situation unfolds.
In Israel, no one in authority is willing to comment on the incident, despite
Israel’s involvement. Three Israelis were reported rescued from the mall
Saturday, but there is no word on any who may still be trapped there.
Since its creation in 2006, the Somali Al-Shabaab has maintained strong
operational ties with the Yemen-based AQAP command for its long and bloody
insurgency against the Mogadishu government. Our counter-terror sources report
that the Somali wing receives training, munitions and medical care at al
Qaeda’s Yemeni camps. They interact frequently by means of speedboats plying
regularly between the Yemen and Somalia.
The scale of the Westgate mall attack, which was carried out by up to a score
of well-trained fighting men armed with large quantities of ammunition, pointed
to heavy AQAP involvement from the word go.
In the past, Al Qaeda has notoriously singled out American and Israeli targets
in East Africa – the 1998 attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania,
and the 2002 assault on Israeli tourists in Mombasa.
However, the Nairobi attack was related to the present.
Al Qaeda’s eyes and ears in Kenya didn’t miss the military and intelligence
assistance Israel renders Kenya for its operations against Islamist terror in
two areas: The Israeli army and security bodies send combat equipment and
provide tactical advice to the Kenyan units fighting alongside Somali
government forces against Al Shabaab; and Israel’s intelligence agencies and
police are helping the Kenyan government build a strong shield or barrier
against the Somali war’s spillover, to guard against Al Shabaab opening up a
second front to the rear of the Kenyan forces fighting across the border.
This protective barrier clearly sprang a large leak Saturday.
