KENYA – AT 10:58 A.M. ET:  The horrible massacre of Kenyan students, most of them Christians singled out for their religion, may be only the beginning of a new Kenyan nightmare.  From Reuters: 

Somali militants vowed on Saturday to wage a long war against Kenya and run its cities "red with blood" after the group's fighters killed nearly 150 people during an assault on a Kenyan university.

In the worst bloodshed in Kenya in nearly two decades, four al Shabaab gunmen went on a killing spree on Thursday, hunting down and executing students in a campus in Garissa, a northeastern town 200 km (120 miles) from the Somali border.

The raid has put Kenya on heightened alert and spooked Christian congregations, horrified by survivor testimonies recalling how the Islamist militants had sought out Christians to kill, while sparing some Muslims.

In the message directed at the Kenyan public, the al-Qaida aligned group said the raid was retribution for Kenya's military presence in Somalia and mistreatment of Muslims within Kenya.

"No amount of precaution or safety measures will be able to guarantee your safety, thwart another attack or prevent another bloodbath from occurring in your cities," the group said in an emailed statement received by Reuters in the Somali capital.

It said it would run cities "red with blood", adding: "This will be a long, gruesome war of which you, the Kenyan public, are its first casualties."

The death toll in the Garissa blitz has risen to 148, Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery said late on Friday, adding that police were interviewing five suspects after making three additional arrests on Friday.

COMMENT:  Yes sir, the war on terror is over.  Just ask Field Marshal Obama.  And we are making a nuclear pact with Iran, one of the world's greatest sponsors of terror. 

Terror is spreading, not receding.  An expert on the subject, Michael Weiss, was on CNN this morning noting that terror events are now occurring with great frequency, as are the breaking up of terror plots within the United States.  There is a law of averages here.  It's been properly noted that anti-terror forces have to be lucky every time.  Terrorists have to be lucky only once.  Brace yourselves.
