AU vows to crush Al Shabab

In the wake of the attack at west gate shopping mall in Nairobi Kenya, The African Union vowed Tuesday to press on with its fight against Al Qaeda-linked Al Shabab militants in Somalia following a deadly siege in Kenya that is now in its fourth day.
"Our resolve is to fight now more than ever before," the deputy head of the AU's executive branch, Erastus Mwencha, told AFP.
Al Shabab has claimed responsibility for the bloody attack at Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall, which started Saturday and has so far left at least 65 people dead and about 200 injured.
Mwencha said the bloody siege underscores the difficulty of fighting Shebab rebels, whose threat extends beyond the borders of Somalia.
I think its high time we place a red alert on all terrorist organizations in Africa and the world at large. What do you think?
