Nairobi drama and a lesson
[Dawn] THE Nairobi drama holds a lesson or two for Pakistain, especially when we see the differences between Al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... and the Pak Taliban. The duration of Al-Shabaab's control of the Westgate mall and the planning that went into the attack show in unmistakable terms the extent of Al-Shabaab's military prowess, the unimpaired existence of its command and control structure and its ability to recruit more people to its cause despite the heavy military reverses of 2011.
