                      Al-Shabab Twitter Accounts Suspended

   The social media site Twitter has again suspended the account of
   militant group al-Shabab, after the group posted messages about the
   deadly mall attack in Nairobi.
   Twitter first shut down the account after al-Shabab claimed
   responsibility for Saturday`s mall attack, which left more than 60
   people dead.
   The militant group quickly re-appeared on the site using a slightly
   different moniker, and was posting messages again on Monday. However,
   later in the day Twitter shut down the new account.
   Before the suspensions, al-Shabab had issued several messages detailing
   the attack on the Westgate mall.
   Over the past year, Twitter has suspended several accounts of
   al-Shabab, including after the militants posted photographs of a French
   soldier it killed and for threatening Somalia`s president.
