Kenyan Mall Attack
Last Saturday's terrorist attack on a mall in Nairobi, Kenya claimed the lives of more than 70 people. Since then, we've learned more about al-Shabab, the al-Qaida affiliate that carried out the deadly strike. ABC's Linsey Davis has more from Nairobi.
American Terrorists
The group claiming responsibility for the attack in Kenya is no stranger to U-S anti-terrorism officials. Al-Shabab has been recruiting followers all over the world, including here in the United States. So what tools and tactics did they employ to recruit U-S members into their ranks? ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross has the details.

Illiterate peasant, woodworker, zealot ... they're surprising descriptors for a man usually referred to as a prophet, a reformer and even the Messiah. Reza Aslan is the author of a new book titled "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth." In it, he explores not the divine Jesus, but the one of history. ABC News Chief National Correspondent Byron Pitts sat down with the author to learn more about his findings.
G. Dep
By all accounts, the rapper known at G-Dep had a bright future. He was on the verge of making it big in the music business but was haunted by a secret that nagged at his conscience. So he made surprising decision to take justice into his own hands. ABC's Deborah Roberts has the story.
