the al-qaida-linked military group al shabaab, who is based in somalia, is claiming responsibility forh is now the deadliest terrorist attack in kenya since al-qaida blew up the u-s embassy in 1998. >> everybody was telling each other to be quiet this american woman is retelling what she saw. >> i think that people were fearful. the people on the other side of the door could hear us they could take us also hostage. >> reporter: kenya's president - who says some of his own relatives are among the dead.addressed the ongoing attack. among the 175 wounded, four are americans. the al-qaida linked group al-shabaab who claimed responbility, posted on its twitter feed that 'all muslims' were escorted from the mall prior to the attack. and indicated the killings are in response to the presence of kenyan troops in somalia. live in the newsroom mike pelton kron 4 news gamo >> /a group connected to the pakistani taliban is claiming responsibility for the deadliest assault ever on pakistan's christian minority. at least 60 people were killed and nearly 120 wounded when a pair of suicide bombers att

. >> how tiekt are their with al-qaida? >> in february, 2012,they formally merge ds with al-qaida. that just means that they're in constant communication. it's how thaw identify themselves. they tried to kill with al shabaab, a danish cartoonist in denl mark, drawing a cartoon that many found offensive to the prophet, muhammad. they had done operations in uganda killing 70 people in 2010. you know, i thaef shown no ability or, for the moment, of being able to attack in the west other than the botched attack to kill this cartoonist in denmark. we appreciate you giving us that perspective. now, we may have some developments on the hostages who were taken yesterday in that shopping mall. nima elbagar is outside and, nima, a few minutes ago, we got some reports about a hostage rescue operation. do you have information about that that you can expand for us? >> absolutely. after an extraordinary 36 hours on the ground, the kenyan military as much as says they have now successfully rescued most of those hostages. they say that there's finally resolution in site. they believe that in the v

as a result, you have al-qaida fighters infiltrating and coming from europe and you do have al-qaidaffiliates playing an increasingly important role. i still believe, though, and i've been in extechbsinsive mee on this with the c.i.a. that we can isolate out forces at this stage. so that -- and the longer this goes on, the more likely it is that al-qaida is going to get a prom innocent role. but right now, now that putin is in, now that he's accepted the offer, we have to let this play out. >> do you find it ironic? even bitterly ironic that you have a situation where the president is so welliilling to force to hurt to punish asaad in syria, but we didn't use military force to punish the militias who killed our ambassadors in libya? >> yeah. that's an on going investigation. that's an issue that the president tries to say is a phony scandal. i can't think of anything more important. if you're in congress or the senate or the white house and americans die defending their country or in the course of duty, for their country. and we don't do what we can, first of all, do all we can to pr

chemical agents at the same time we know the story about the plight of people and turkey of the al qaida affiliate that people who are arrested on the legations of trying to obtain or make chemical weapons so these people they they have a history of that us action and the terrorist activity so this war the. come as much of a surprise the opposite would be true the syrian government would not. be with government what happens especially if you take the farts and to concentrate from the fact that many syrian soldiers are in the area of use. and the moscow's fucked up mobiles. this syrian government would not attack its own throats for goodness sakes yet the international media with the exception of a few many of the closer today are lying and lying and lying constantly trying to convince international public opinion that the syrian government is behind this dark but hey look at the story of iraq and you would know who is telling the truth and who is lying here ok we do have to leave it there but thank you for your opinion that is dr you put him political analyst and professor in a universit

smeared his not only of conspiracy theory in questions but also attempt to connect him to violence and al qaida all of these nefarious conspiracies about government plot to kill all one conspire and lie about it and cover up the real truth when this stuff is as ridiculous as it has ever been but it is as ridiculous as it is dangerous always for the joins us thank you very much for speaking with us how do you feel first losing you'll song and now being portrayed as the guy my son died he died from an explosion i can prove that beyond a reasonable doubt if i was in a courtroom i jury can i. not accept that as proof so that's where we have a problem when i say well this is an inside job or my son died from an inside job from someone putting bombs detonations i would maker sit in this room go through what i just went with you and then i would say. now you tell me i'm a conspiracy theory to show you how awful our media is i don't want to call the media make several million dollars and they tell her what to say one newspaper reporters from with a lot of theory was very afraid with me she said you kno

so all this near al qaida. poses a threat to the country but how big a danger does the yemeni branch of al qaeda opposed to neighboring states. well i think it's. still posing a threat to yemen. and action has to be taken not only by the united states or by the yemeni government and action has to be taken by all neighboring countries such kind of corporation. between the yemeni government and old countries located next to yemen in addition to the united states because such a three to security is not only the yemeni military. any government i think all countries next to yemen will be affected in a bad week because we can understand yemen has been hosting many many members of al qaida has been training and have been. such a training and will be used not only in yemen i think saudi arabia might be on the right taking any time those members can move each different yemen because we know the. ease that it can move from one country to another this is why a thing security measures have to be tightened and corporation b

. >> al-qaida is claiming responsibility. >> this is evidence that al-qaida organizes itself nationally. it's striking deep inside kenya. >> while the white house condemned the attack, the state department says they received reports of injured u.s. citizens. the mall was popular with wealthy ex-patriots. >> and here at home, the events over this past week has everyone on high alert, which was very apparent at the mall last night. there was reports of an active shooter inside before it was all false alarm due to a visit by an internet sensation. he's known for his web videos. he was visiting fans at the mall when someone overheard talk of shooting a video and took the word "shooting" out of context and on top of that, there was a lot of screaming preteen girls excited to see the web star, but police managed to calm everyone down. >> making headlines, president obama with strong words for house republicans. delivering the keynote address at the congressional black caucus awards on saturday, he spoke with the republicans about avoiding the government shutdown. congress and the administrati

i don't believe that the majority are al-qaida and the bad guys.somewhere between 15, 20% my be in one group or another who are what we would deem to be bad guys. there are many different groups. there are different entities, and styles they're fighting each other, even now. the general belief, there is a real moderate opposition that exists, our allies in this effort, our friends from the saudis, and others are now in a disciplined way funneling assistance through the moderate opposition who are getting stronger as a result of it. >> there are moderates, but the briefings i've received unless i've received inaccurate briefs is 50% and rising. these fighters coming in globally are not coming in as moderates, they're coming inned a jihadists. i want to hear from the secretaries will. >> well, i agree with secretary kerry analysis. you know this very well, congressman, especially with your responsibilities as chairman of homeland security committee. this is an imperfect situation. there are no good options here. there is complicated. there is no clar

also feel if something else is jihadi me which is permeated some of the social media as well and al qaida has been successful with using that. and of course we'll keep you updated on this ongoing story remember you can always get more by logging on to websites to get answers to the latest pictures on day to witness accounts from the scene of the tragedy all that's waiting for you at sea dot com. meanwhile i'll see in just a couple of minutes small the port on the invisible and silent which is slowly poisoning the suspects in citizens of london that's right after the break to stay with a. good lumber tour. was to build the most sophisticated which fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything mission to teach the creation why it should care about humans . this is why you should care only on the. mission. critical three. four judges are free. free. free. free. hold free blog video for your media project a free media dog r t v dot com. you're watching else he's great to have you with us let's move on now. it was once they sent all the industrial revolution with chimneys belching smoke into

for parking al qaida and mali but at the supporting al qaida in syria so the weight of russia the international weight of russia in the security council will learned more credibility to this that would otherwise be ignored by the united states britain and france so the point is not only to have advance the point is to be able to have that evidence. and study it and taken into consideration. meanwhile syria's president has said he's committed to chemical disarmament but that the process will take at least a year and cost around a billion dollars assad made his latest comments in an interview with fox news the highlights are vailable on our website at r.t. dot com. cities across greece have seen violent clashes following the death of an anti fascist activist who was stabbed to death by a member of the far right golden dawn party riot police used tear gas to disperse the angry crowds as writers hurled rocks and lit street fires of course want to see happen i was in the midst of a frenzy. basically the large group of protesters have clashed with the police and police are holding their ground right

at what happened in the middle east in the past, if we look at muslim brotherhood, if we look at al-qaida, we have to take this into consideration. >> we he focus on a narrowly drafted resolution asking-- >> i don't think the good guys would be using the gas. i don't think good guys would be using the gas. for arguments sake, from one prosecutor to another, i believe you're using beyond reasonable doubt assertion, i truly believe that, but this will not stop the butchering and the killing that takes place over there. so what is the purpose? what is the end game here? where is the imminent danger to the united states? >> you're absolutely correct that this will not stop the butchering, i wish it would. but what it will do is what it's intended to do, it's intended to assert the principle which has been in place since 1925 that no one should use chemical weapons under any circumstances. >> i understand that. i understand that. what is the reality of this? what is the reality? we've seen this use in the past. you made the comment in 2002 when bush wanted to go into iraq, which i didn't agree

syria and even find as a full blown invasion sailings at its feared they all up their support for al qaida cells in desperation to be rid of president of the fans alice and author ivan he calls it's an outrageous offer. it's implicit blackmail and i don't really think it's you know really a conditional thing i think they'll probably do it anyway and i don't see how u.s. bombing would stop that in fact as i say it may cause the jihadists even more to be more active in the war simply because the u.s. is attacking an islamic country they're actively trying to alter the situation on the battlefield against assad but on the other side you have al qaida and i think al qaeda may even be worse than assad and also we're slowly getting dragged into this war if you're trying not to get embroiled in a war because then you're implicitly taking one side over the other even more so than if you're just bombing them to say you shouldn't have used chemical weapons and i think then you get a stake in the outcome of the war. well look at the economic side of the g twenty summit after the break to go away. cho

extremists linked with the al nusra front of course connected with al qaida had their homes raided and. some sarin gas was was found to be in their possession now that was initially rejected that was denied by encourage denied by turkey but this gesture is from the former pentagon officials that there's evidence suggests that chemical weapons have been smuggled to these extremists to the opposition from neighboring countries and in particular turkey. there with the details on what this syrian blogger is saying something that. we know that mr maloof one of our experts did say that this could be a potential site coming from the syrian opposition or radical opposition let's just listen to what many have had to say i have. a report from a source who has direct connections with. classified information and he basically told me that the u.s. military did an assessment based upon fifty indicators and clandestine interviews that the sourcing siren originated out of iraq into turkey before some of it was confiscated in may in turkey and that there has actually been a more significant amount of c

so what happens if syria god forbid is ruled by groups affiliated with al qaida are we going to have another afghanistan the air let's just look at iraq although the government there is not affiliated with any. muslim. muslim but the christians being driven out of iraq in their hundreds of thousands sticking of iraq you know i wanted to ask you if syria does border iraq and of course they're seeing a lot of sectarian violence right now do you think that what's going on in iraq is instigating what's going on in syria i don't believe so i don't believe it's instigating but i do believe the elements in iraq are making things much worse for the syrians there are of course as we hear from the news there are people coming through iraq through turkey through jordan and through lebanon there are elements of extremists who come from all the way from of guidance then and those pics that and other countries such as saudi arabia and qatar they are fighting in syria they are doing their jihad in syria yes. they are making things more difficult for christians because these people who come outside

the french moved in to try and push them out of mali but generally speaking of the work against al qaida and some of the drug has been essentially regional and. just been here i'm sorry. here i'm going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on the war on terrorism stay. wealthy british. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy cars a report on. economic downturns in the final. days. and the rest. at the place it was terrible they come up very hard to take on the lips again live here to plug in their sex lives up perfect their lives let's play. lists. lists lists lists lists. of. plug right along the same place about search triplets and i predict future place led on our reporters when her mum against the leg live in the leg slumped. you got something that is quite simply a mess. ways was no way oh. clearly they were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. and sold to the us or turned over to the us for. the soul that could be buried alive. was saved with great ever. going to want to turn me into a terrorist so it is they w

is there al-qaida? people say they have got an stronger. kerry said no. they know about this. it was not pleasant for me to see this. we communicate with them and assume that they are decent people. he lies openly that he knows that he lies. this is sad. >> well, that attack on john kerry came hours after president obama arrived at the g-20 summit. al jazeera's barnaby phillips has more on the already icy relationship between the two leaders. >> well, leaders arrive in st. petersburg for the summit that might highlight the glaring dinnerses between thedifferencee issues of the day. putin does not look like a man ready to compromise with the united states over syria. >> i have watched the debates in congress, and when they asked secretary kerry if there is al-qaida in syria, i say no, and they are not there. i don't like see iting this. we communicate with them, but he lies openly. and he knows that he lies. >> but the american president topping in sweden on route to the summit speak as if it is needed. >> my credibility is not on the line. the international community's credibi

next, it's to look at the al-qaida attack in 2008. they've stocked up with ammunition and weapons and basically fought until those stockpiles ran out. and, again, the fact that it's released names is an indication that they will have recorded so called individuals who have stated why they took part in the attack. and if that's the case, we'll expect -- can expect al shabaab to release those videos in the coming weeks. >> all right. thank you so much for that information. u.s. secretary of state called an attack unspeakable evil. attacks like this can't change who we are. >> so we are expected to hear from president obama in the next hour. the president will be honoring the victims in washington. on monday, 12 people were killed when former navy reservist aaron alexis open ds nier inside the buildsing at navy headquarters. >>> suicide bombers struck a church in pakistan killing 77 people. the blast happened today. >> two attackers struck the church there. choir members, including children attending sunday school, are among the dead. >>

they're backed by a car either they're affiliated with one way or another with al qaida they've presented this to the department of defense to the contracting wafa sers over there they won't do anything about it and a car came out and was quoted as saying this is ridiculous we've presented them with the evidence but they won't do anything because they want to give these firms due process i wrote a blog about it on my web site america's failure in iraq dot com going back about two weeks ago when this news first came out that's ridiculous that's just plain ridiculous that's crazy and that is why institutions like these inspector generals are necessary not to point these problems out michael o'brien author of america's failure in iraq thank you so much for coming and thanks for having me. former contractor edward snowden promised said he had treasure troves of information to release about the n.s.a. surveillance state once again he is making good on his word the german newspaper der spiegel reports that internal n.s.a. documents from previous snowden leaks detail how the agency has been focu

. >> you're talking about al-qaida? >> translator: al-qaida is one of them.e are other terrorist groups. >> can you be absolutely certain that iran is not backing a government that has used chemical weapons on its own people? >> i told you we are providing help and assistance. we do not want to see the victory of terrorists in syria. this is a miscalculation by the west. if someone is supporting terrorists in syria, it mean that is somehow they are playing with fire in the whole region. we should stop the civil war. the syrian opposition with the government is syria. we should pave the way and prepare the ground for elections and ballot boxes so that syrians voice their opinions and then we should all respect the results. >> it is widely received that some governments are providing more than aid in syria. can you cat gegorically derive that they're providing military help. >> translator: don't you think you're repeating this question for the third time? >> no, i'm asking about military aid to syria. >> translator: well, i've told you, clearly, that our assist

talks with the head of al qaida. the world trade center and is shown on times square and the father of a twin towers victim tells us about being attacked by mainstream media. decades of terror against their own population blamed on extremists is actually being funded and planned by the white house top level officials in the government and the cia and the campaign known as gladio is cool but former cia head bill colby a quote major operation in sworn testimony one of the conspirators confessed you have to attack civilians the people we mean children far removed from any political game so storage fees can bring in a state of emergency though to the new guns rules of nato secret thanks very much indeed for coming on so mainstream media don't report this but it is now on the record and officially documented their cases of terror attacks against their own population are fact organized by the cia.

would first of all we cannot say and this is the one point there were chemical weapons in iraq ok al qaida after actually there were there were there were there were chemical and i don't recall they are back when back during the reagan administration when don rumsfeld told them to give them the whole year for bush to be able to sit there and try to a whole year he did the right way went through congress during that year they have tapes of the trucks leaving and all the said mysteriously those chemical weapons are gone and those trucks went into syria many countries right now have chemical weapons probably every single one of them i mean we know in canada what are we at least twenty five should we attack all of them well the question is now of course not i do as well i know read right iraq was threatening to use them in the u.s. that was the reason why we right now actually ok oh i don't know we're going to really to get the iraq war but the the case is this they were actually shooting at our planes almost every single day because they were there not in germany and they were in defiance of
