Somalia extremists urge attacks on US, Canada, UK shopping malls

A video purported to be by Somalia's al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab group urged Muslims to attack shopping malls in the US, Canada, Britain and other Western countries, The New York Times reported on Sunday.
In the video, the extremist group again said its September 2013 attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, was in reprisal for Kenyan military involvement in Somalia. Sixty-seven people died in the attack. The video, using footage from major news organizations, showed the assault on the mall.
The masked narrator of the 76-minute video warned of more attacks in Kenya and concluded by calling on Muslims to attack shopping malls, specifically mentioning the Mall of America in Minnesota, the West Edmonton Mall in Canada and the Westfield mall in Stratford, England.
"What if such an attack were to occur in the Mall of America in Minnesota? Or the West Edmonton Mall in Canada? Or in London's Oxford Street?" a masked man said, then called for Britain's Westfield mall to be targeted.
