"The recent deadly Westgate Mall attack in Kenya should worry the United States. It proved that al Shabaab can execute a difficult operation, according to Seth Jones of the Rand Corporation.
The attack, which killed more than 60 people, “was well planned, well executed, involved impressive intelligence collection, surveillance, [and] reconnaissance of the target,” Jones told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “It had operatives prepared to ask individuals a range of questions before killing them or letting them go.”"
