That was the message
terrorists of Al-Shabaab gave to Kenya on Wednesday, as officials still
sorted through rubble and clues left in the wake of the recent massacre
that took 67 lives at a Nairobi shopping mall.
The Somali militant group handed the threatening statement to regional media, which passed it on to CNN.
For four days, starting
on September 21, Al-Shabaab fighters spread gunfire and flames through
Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Mall, leaving it partially destroyed,
stained in blood and littered with bodies.

Members of Kenya's
government were mute about what they had seen inside after emerging from
an inspection there earlier this week.
CNN learned that the Westgate mall attackers tortured some of the hostages.
Military doctors said
militants severed hands, cut off noses and, in some cases, hanged
hostages. CNN has seen photographic evidence of one dead victim with a
hand amputated.
In the coming days and
weeks, members of Parliament are expected to grill intelligence
officials to find out more about how the attack occurred.
