FBI: Kenya Mall Attackers Believed To Be "Dead"

Here comes another version of the "story!" I'm saddened that as a country, we will never know the truth about what really transpired.

This so called FBI report comes weeks after a New York Police Department report on the attack raised the possibility that the gunmen may have escaped.

Now according to an FBI official, the gunmen who attacked the upscale Westgate mall in Kenya’s capital, killing at least 67 people, likely died in the attack. “Our ERT (Evidence Response Team) made significant finds, and there is no evidence that any of the attackers escaped from the area where they made their last stand,” he said.

A very secure crime scene perimeter made an escape unlikely, he said. “Additionally, had the attackers escaped, it would have been publicly celebrated and exploited for propaganda purposes by al-Shabaab. That hasn’t happened,” he said in the posted interview.

They also believe that the Kenyan authorities had recovered the charred remains of bodies believed to be those of the attackers from the debris in the mall.

Kanye West Allegedly punches an 18-year old for calling Kim Kardashian "N*gger Lover"

Yes, you guessed it right...Kanye West just made the headlines again...and not for good reasons. TMZ reports that Kanye allegedly hauled off and punched an 18-year old boy, inside a doctor's office for reffering to Kim Kardashian as a n*gger lover.

According to witnesses who talked to TMZ, here's what went down...

Kim was at a Beverly Hills medical building when she was swarmed by photogs.  We're told the guy allegedly tried to help Kim get in the building, as he started screaming,  "F**k these fa**ot-ass n****rs"" -- referring to the paparazzi.  Kim then told him it was not appropriate to use the N-word.  We're told he then screamed at her, "F**k you bitch.  Just trying to help you.  Shut up n****r lover, stupid slut."

Apparently that got Kim hot as fish grease ... she watched the guy walk into an office.  As they were walking we're told the guy continued berating Kim.  She dialed Kanye on his cell, and when the guy realized Kanye was on the phone he allegedly said, "F**k you N****r."   Kanye -- who had just arrived at the building -- then met up with Kim.

Sources say Kanye and Kim rushed into the waiting room of chiropractor Richard Hill and found the 18-year-old sitting there.  Witnesses say Kanye punched the guy and Kim screamed, "We have it all on tape."

Sources say the massage therapist in the office separated the 2 men.  Beverly Hills cops were called and the 18-year-old said he wanted to press charges.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Kanye is now officially a suspect in a battery investigation and they want to interview him.  We're also told the matter will be referred to the L.A. County D.A. for possible prosecution.

Kenya Leads in Googling of Gay Porn - The Guardian UK

Last year, Google published statistics about the places in the world where their search engine was most used to find gay porn sites. The results were extraordinary.

Dwyane Wade CONFIRMS He Fathered A Baby Boy

Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade has a whole lot to be grateful for, and not just his recent engagement to beautiful actress Gabriel Union.

The 31-year-old NBA star reportedly became a father for the third time just a few months ago -- but the mother is not his fiancée.

Wade fathered the child during a temporary break from Gabrielle Union early last year. Last night before his game against the Denver Nuggets, Wade addressed the controversy.

"I'm in the public eye, so obviously it's part of it, it comes with the territory," said Wade. "But you know, as I've always done my whole life, I always try to focus on what's most important to me and my family. And that's being a great father."

Wade confirmed he has spent time with his new son, but refused to give his name or any other details.

 As for his current relationship with fiancée Gabrielle Union, Wade says they've already discussed this privately and are moving forward. "I've always tried to show my importance in my kids' lives, and it doesn't change now," he followed up. "Me and my lady and my family have continued to move forward, and that's evident by accepting the ring and the proposal that I gave her."

 

The pair got engaged just a week ago in Miami. They also plan to tie the knot in September of next year.
