Why Shabaab chiefs must be smiling from ear to ear

We are living in dangerous times. The enemy within is restless, busy strategising how to shed innocent blood. For the umpteenth time, the Al Shabaab diehards, the deranged criminals who kill and maim convinced that this will earn them a high-table in heaven, have struck again.

And they have won big time this time round. Their leaders must be smiling, not only at sight of the bloodshed, but also over the efficiency of this attack. This is because for the first time ever, they managed to turn city residents against each other, with some convinced, wrongly, that Somalis were collectively to blame for the attack.
