In Nairobi, in a single biggest assault  attack in Kenya since  2002, gunmen that claims to be Somali Islamist group Al Shabaab stormed one of Kenya's biggest shopping mall in its capital Nairobi on Saturday, killing at least 30 people including children and sending scores fleeing in panic. The gunmen were barricaded inside a Nakumatt supermarket, one of Kenya's biggest chains.

Al Shabaab, which is battling Kenyan and other African peacekeepers in Somalia, had repeatedly threatened attacks on Kenyan soil if Nairobi does not pull its troops out of the Horn of Africa country.

Al Shabaab through its  official Twitter handle @HSMPress tweeted  "There will be no negotiations whatsoever at #Westgate." and further said... "The Kenyan govt (government) is pleading with our Mujahideen (holy warriors) inside the mall for negotiations,"

Another al-Shabaab tweet read: "For long we have waged war against the Kenyans in our land, now it's time to shift the battleground and take the war to their land."

Let me take you on memory ride; Al Qaeda's East Africa cell bombed the U.S. embassy in Nairobi in 1998, killing more than 200 people. In 2002, the same militant cell attacked an Israeli-owned hotel and tried to shoot down an Israeli jet in a coordinated attack. Al Shabaab is aligned with Al Qaeda.

Kenyan forces first entered Somalia two years ago to try to stem incursions by al Qaeda-linked militants. See graphic pics of the attack after the cut.......

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called  Eurycoma Longifolia  or  Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars to have larger penises”  says Dr. Fi

Dailytrust quoted Umar as saying Habiba had relocated with her parents from Kaduna, some months ago, and that before they could get a room to rent, he gave his room to them as a temporary shelter and relocated to his friend’s room. “My friend, Yusuf, started developing interest in the lady.
