Westgate Mall Attack and Al-Shabaab Origins

The Westgate mall attack in Nairobi is analyzed as a potential "strategy of tension" to justify increased security and surveillance. Jeremy Scahill's reporting is cited, explaining how the CIA's funding of Somali warlords in the early 2000s inadvertently fueled the rise of Al-Shabaab. The segment also discusses the "White Widow" and the use of Twitter as a primary source for terrorist claims.
