Kenyan Muslims Express Outrage Over Nairobi Mall Attack
Al Shabab, an Al Qaeda-linked organization, claimed responsibility for the mass shooting
NAIROBI — As investigations continue into the terrorist attack on a Nairobi shopping mall, the city's Muslim community is trying to come to terms with the atrocities committed by Islamist militants. Many say they stand with their fellow Kenyans in the wake of the attack, but some worry Muslims are being unfairly blamed.
It has been five days since a group of gunmen launched their assault inside the Westgate shopping mall. More than 60 civilians were killed, including women and children, and nearly 200 wounded.
