and the connections that our own people would have had happen in the mall. we are looking at more video now. and we knew that our guys are going to assist in investigating that. we knew we had special forces during the stand off and siege and after. and now we have learned that this is playing out in somalia. before you go, i want to ask you about the situation in trippoli. >> the original reports that there was a second raid came from libyan sources on the ground in tripoli. the target of that strike by special operation forces was a bu a l libby and he's been on the most wanted list. and there was a $5 million reward for him. he is in u.s. custody and wanted for the 1998 embassy bombings in kenya. he is currently in u.s. custody and we are told from a senior u.s. official. >> jennifer griffin, thank you very much and we'll come back to you later this hour. we'll go back as the news warrants. thank you, jennifer. we'll bring in judge mukasy and who served under george bush and a reputation for fighting terror. we were talking about a host of things and kenya

it's also interesting that the mall that was chosen, west gate, was the premium mall. something about the type of people that the terrorists wanted to influence. wanted to send a message to. >> reporter: while he says he thinks the u.s. is not completely safe from this type of attack, tighter security in this country means there will be fewer casualties. >> the mall of america is an example of a mall that thinks a lot about risks of this sort. they have plans for active shooting in place and practiced. kenyan authorities are now watching this video piece together clues about the gunmen. the somali armed group al-shabab has claimed responsibility. but investigators don't even know how many attackers were involved. ray lynn johnson, al jazerra. >> the west gate mall attack last month lasted three days and left 72 people dead. china's economy on the rise. growing by its fastest pace so far this year, why only some in the country are bennetting, though. president obama picks his next homeland security chief. the experience that he would bring to the table. and the hacker gr

the problem is, the national mall is officially closed. now, this rally was permitted and planned before the government shutdown eight days ago, so, again, things have been set up and ready to go. this will be a march and concert. organizers bringing in well-known musical artists trying to attract a bigger crowd. lawmakers will be here, even though they aren't currently working on capitol hill. democratic leader nancy pelosi will be here and democratic representative so big names from different spectrums. how will this work the out? the masses will have to get here. some roads are closed, of course, and they're not going to be able to park. that could pose a problem later today. some tourists the last couple days have been denied entry to the roads and museums closed are left scratching their heads wondering if this is part of the political game. we noticed last week people have been allowed on the national mall to walk and job the gravel foot paths which is where we are standing here but this would be the first time people would be allowed

in part, that was part of the reason they claim they attacked the mall. so they've been trying to hold on to some territory. some of it's south of mogadishu. where this raid took place was on the water a coastal village, 100 miles south of mogadishu. the good thing is they'd been working al-shabab as a target for some time, well before the west gate attack. we knew they were a dangerous almost. we've been working on them. we had a fair amount of intelligence about where they had hunkered down at this point. again, kudos obviously to the team and a terrific debt, frankly. >> mike, stand by for just a moment, if you would. we have more information. >> arthel: we want to go to our pentagon reporter, jennifer griffin. she has more. what can you confirm for us? >> well, what we've just confirmed is that, in fact, there was a raid in somalia in this town early this morning. the target was the head of al-shabab, but he was killed in the attack. he was not nabbed. heeized. he was not taken alive. there was some misreport being that earlier this evening. but we hav
