Al-Shabaab Attack to Villa Rose Hotel is Beyond My Thinking

[Deeq A.]

The area is considered a large greenfield (a bit safer from the other part of the district or in the town), however, potential questions evolving as to how planned, and supported by inner circle elements could have facilitated the attack which is just around 35 meters away from main wall of Villa Somalia, the presidential accommodation, and from the national theatre completely secured by a circle of sand barriers and stones in addition to multilayer of security checkpoints. The attack demonstrates that the security development cannot resource all the necessary security infrastructure both physical and psychological aspects, given the fact how the area have been cordoned off or restricted access from civilians and private vehicles.
