Kenyan security forces react after hearing gunfire coming from the Dusit Hotel complex in Nairobi on January 15. Al Shabaab noted that the complex targeted in the attack included Western businesses and is popular with expatriates. People take cover after hearing gunfire coming from the Dusit Hotel complex in Nairobi during Tuesday’s attack. “Even if the Zionists and the Crusaders would transfer all the embassies in the world to Jerusalem, Jerusalem will holy to Muslims,” it said, adding, “Jerusalem will never be Jewish.”Jewish claims to Jerusalem go back some 3,000 years, to when King David made the city the capital of the kingdom of Israel, reigning from there for 33 years. When they did so, Zawahiri praised Al Shabaab for expelling “the enemies of Islam” (Ethiopia is a majority Christian country) and encouraged the group not to stop there.
