NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- The al-Qaida-linked Somali militant group is claiming responsibility for the deadly attack on a mall in Kenya.

A statement from al-Shabab on its official Twitter feed Saturday says the attacks are retribution for military action by Kenya inside Somalia. The group said it was now shifting the battlefield to Kenya.
