"Kenya official: Several Americans among attackers"

Summary:
     A shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya was attacked by a group of people, who possibly included two to three Americans and one Briton. The Americans were about 18 or 19 years old with Somali or Arab origin. They were said to have lived "in Minnesota and one other place in the U.S." This assault ended up killing more than 60 people. U.S. officials are wondering if the Americans are involved in the al-Shabab (a group allied with the al-Qaida), who recently caused conflict with Kenya. The al-Shabab will recruit Americans to come to Somalia. This issue is being tracked by the U.S. government, along with others, and will continue to be for a while.

Analysis:
      I believe it is a good idea that Kenya needs to work with other governments to fight against the terrorist threat that is rising. Also, I do not think it is fair at all that these people of "Somali or Arab origin" are considered "Americans". Although they may have become U.S. citizens, they are not truly American. Our country should not be represented by terrorists. This proves that terrorists are taking over our country and will continue to if we don't do anything about it.
