Jihadis storm Kenya border village, target military vehicle with IED

Jun 15, 2015 7:42 am By Robert Spencer

kenya police“Suspected al-Shabab militants stormed a village in Kenya’s Garissa County, the same county where the al Qaeda-affiliated group killed nearly 150 people in April.” So apparently al-Shabaab can still move into Kenya with impunity. But no one is particularly concerned — after all, no “Islamophobia” is being committed.

“Al-Shabab Garissa Raid: Militants Storm Kenya Border Village, Target Military Vehicle With IED,” by Lora Moftah, International Business Times, June 14 2015:

Suspected al-Shabab militants stormed a village in Kenya’s Garissa County, the same county where the al Qaeda-affiliated group killed nearly 150 people in April. The raid came just a few hours after members of the group targeted a military vehicle with an improvised explosive device, Kenya’s Standard Digital reported Sunday.

Officials confirmed 10 militants were involved in the Saturday night incident and revealed the attackers were likely looking to target “nonlocal” masons currently doing construction work on a mosque in the village of Bulla-Golol.

“Luckily, the masons fled from the site after the attackers started shooting indiscriminately from a distance as they headed toward the construction site,” Amb Mohamud Swaleh, Kenya’s northeastern regional commissioner, told Standard Digital. “The workers managed to escape and disappear in nearby bushes unscathed.”

Swaleh said the same militants were also believed to be behind a road side bomb attack on a Kenyan army vehicle that was heading to Garissa from a border base. “One of the vehicles hit the explosive, but fortunately it was too weak to cause any impact to any of our officers or the vehicle,” he said, adding security personnel were now deployed in the village tracing the footsteps of the assailants who are now believed to be fleeing back across the border to Somalia….

    Increased use of tactical canines is indicated to successfully defeat these savages.

    The idea of a good old fashioned Moslem dictatorship just ain’t good enough anymore, no. Not with the Global Jihad on the roll, now it’s gotta be full bore Sharia, or else. Prez Barack Hussein’s father, of whom he dreamt, must be rolling over in his grave. To me Barack Sr. was a good Moslem, a fine one. A drunk, a philanderer, a bigamist, a lazy ass, a pomp, and above all a tax mooch, he worked for a dictator who kept his Moslems in check. But no more, now it’s unchecked Moslems running amok doing all kinds of crazy stuff commanded in the Holy Ko-Ran. There’s gonna be trouble, big trouble. Hell, there already is. I wonder where the next big attack on Infidels is gonna be. These internecine Moslem-on-Moslem mass murders are just warmups, practice, sure in the name of Islamic Discipline, but exercises to get better at the craft of murder for a future day of Infidel slaughter.

    Why would Al-Shabab militants attack masons working on a mosque? Go figure Jihadi logic.

      ”Why would Al-Shabab militants attack masons working on a mosque?”

      Wrong sect, wrong clan, wrong tribe. Eeny, meeny, miny, mo.

    This continual “cross-border raiding” is one of the tactics that Muslims have *always* used to weaken – economically, politically, and psychologically – neighbouring non-Muslim states or regions.

    it’s what they did to the countries along the northern littoral of the Mediterranean.

    It’s what the Barbary Pirates were doing..and the Acehnese pirates, too, and the Moros in the Philippines – for centuries.

    It’s how they wore down – in process of *centuries* – the Byzantine Empire.

    it’s what they are doing to Israel: every rocket fired from Gaza is, in effect, a “border raid”, just as every Muslim who takes a vehicle and runs over Jews, every Muslim who throws a rock, every Muslim who takes a knife in Jerusalem and sneaks up behind a Jew and stabs him or her from behind.

    Raids.

    A continual ‘drizzle’ of attacks, calculated consciously or unconsciously to avoid provoking *too* strong a retaliation, or carried out by individuals or groups with just enough plausible deniability to avoid responsibility being sheeted home to the Ummah (or subsidiary sponsoring/ hosting portion thereof) as a whole.
