Nairobi, KENYA - The group which carried out the massacre at the Nairobi mall in Kenya are mostly from Europe and America according to tweets on the Al-Shabab twitter account and as reported by Australian news website theaustralian.com/au. The tweets claim that Samantha Lewthwaite, the 'white widow' of London 7/7 bomber Jermaine Lindsay, was 'in their ranks' and a 'brave lady' - the British mother-of-four was also claimed to be one of the main financiers and bomb-making tutors for Al Shabaab in Kenya.

During the massacre on Saturday morning, the gunmen ordered all Muslims to leave before carrying out rudimentary tests to see if hostages could recite the Koran and name the mother of the Prophet Mohammed.

Terrified shoppers fled and hid in storerooms, restaurants and a cinema, with the wounded being carried out in shopping trolleys.

Shoppers who were able to prove they were Muslim were among the 1,000 who escaped unharmed, while those who failed were shot for being 'kafir', a derogatory term for non-Muslims. One man, who hid in a box of cartons, said: 'If they had found me ... I'm white and so I'm dead. They hate your skin colour.'
