In the first hour or so after this incident, there were all kinds of conflicting reports. We heard reports of shootouts, fire being exchanged, different vehicles, lockdowns, the whole business.

Whenever anything happens thing in fact, when any like this happens in any u. S. City, you see a very, very strong response from police force and sometimes from other Security Forces.

When Something Like this happens, certainly in washington , but also in other cities, you overwhelming and some people say disproportionate response from the police.

The first witnesses say the boat caught fire. Because of this, everyone pushed forward and cause the vote to overturn and hundreds of people ended up in the sea. There were three children on board and two pregnant women. They had all ordered the boat in libya, but they had begun their journey in different countries. Tragic was dramatic and in every way. There were so many children among the victims. Horrible to the had new shoes, signs of hope. Horrible. They had new shoes, signs of hope. They still have 200 people still unaccounted for. A kilometerk only offshore, but there were no phones on board to call for help. These illequipped boats are often run by smugglers.

Kenya where the recruitment of militants in its own backyard appeared to be downplayed. Insiders within the Security Forces have told the bbc of an uncontrolled shooting spree by soldiers as they entered the westgate mall. From nairobi, karen allen reports. Is this where the attackers prayed during the waistcoat seized . Siege. Gate there was disorganization during the whole thing. There was no command when they entered. They started firing. People were screaming and running here and there. Had did not know we plainclothes officers there. Sources have told me that initial sis mission is that a british attacker involved had not been substantiated. Instead, the Intelligence Report obtained by the bbc reveals al shabaab recruited kenyans on their own home ground. This is the mosque where al shabaab clerics preached just a few priest. Alshabaab clerics preached. Maybe you dont have one. Maybe you are not going to school. And you get money. According to islamic good Financial Support from al shabaab. This neighborhood has been on a watchlist for more than a year. That, following sustained Security Operations in this area, that some alshabaab operatives have escaped and gone into hiding. By april, authorities had indications that they had regrouped and were planning a terror attack in nairobi. With allegations of intelligence failure and a power struggle within the security services, whereby the leads missed that could have saved lives here . Viable leads missed that could have saved lives here . Of theciate director Rand Corporation joins me now. Karen is reporting that al shabaab recruited from kenyans. What do you make of that . What we see with alshabaab is the ability to recruit not just within somalia and bring in individuals from the United States. They have access to individuals from communities like minneapolis. But they also have a recruitment capability from kenya itself. It is a largely christian country, so they have taken advantage of this Muslim Christian divide among other things. How widespread is their recruitment here in the u. S. . There has been a range of arrests by the fbi and u. S. Law enforcement of alshabaab recruiters and fundraisers in cities like minneapolis. There is a decent sized somali American Population in northern cities, like buffalo, new york and minneapolis, some southern cities like san diego, california, individuals who have come from somalia. So we see recruitment over the internet and human recruiters coming into the u. S. Trying to lure people back. Confirmationis no that anybody here was involved in the westgate attack. No, we have not seen that there were any americans or british or others. Americans blow themselves up. What do you say of the strength of alshabaab following this attack ground inaab has lost somalia, mogadishu, and in cuba disco clubs. But they still have an external operations capability, especially in east africa and especially for soft kinds of targets. How much of a threat does that pose to the u. S. Interest in east africa . Andor u. S. Interests british interest in east africa, they should be in high alert. We see an interest in targeting the u. S. , the british and other westerners because they are still viewed by alshabaab as infidels. How significant is a westgatestyle attack in the u. S. . It is probably unlikely. The group is primarily focused on targeting in east africa. The kenyans were a primary target because they have been so deeply involved in military operations. Interest by al shabaab to target inside the u. S. I think the u. S. Can provide intelligence information. They can provide the whereabouts of alshabaab camps can they can provide assistance in improving the security be the security capabilities. Away fromd stay direct involvement, including withdrawn strikes, for example di. Were you surprised by what happened in nairobi . No. Remember, the kenyans are enemies of alshabaab. I see this in part as a revenge attack. Thank you. In other news, in nigeria, a passenger plane has crashed, killing at least 13 people.
