The owner of nine New Zealand shopping malls has been singled out in a threatening video released by an Islamic terrorist group. Al-Shebab, also called al-Shabaab – a terrorist group based in parts of the fractured, failed state of Somalia – released a video advising its supporters to attack Westfield malls around the world. The group murdered at least 63 people in a September 2013 attack in the Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya.
