Nairobi attack: Another stage in globalization of terror?

 Al-Shabaab, an Al-Qaida-linked Somali group, targets Kenya and other African countries that ousted it from power in Mogadishu.
 The 2002 terror attack in Mombasa that killed three Israelis and 13 Kenyans was carried out before Al-Shabaab came into being, but the planner, Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, became in 2009 one of the main commanders of Al-Shabaab until his death two years later. Israel may not for now be a main target of the organization, which is focused on fighting the forces trying to evict it from Somalia, but it is certainly on the list.
