“Some may be noticeable to guests, and others won’t be,” the statement reads. “We will continue to follow the situation, along with law enforcement, and will remain vigilant as we always do in similar situations. The safety and security of our guests, employees and tenants remains our top priority.”

Al-Shabaab, which has links to al-Qaida, was the group responsible for the September 2013 attack on an upscale mall in Nairobi, Kenya, that left 60 people dead.

In a lengthy new propaganda video posted Saturday, the group calls for further attacks on shopping centres in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.

More than an hour into the video, a man faces the camera and is subtitled saying, “the attacks and raids will continue and, by the will of Allah, they will not stop until you change your oppressive practices against our brothers and restore their rights in full.”

Another man, dressed in a camouflage jacket with his face shrouded in a scarf, speaks clear English while calling for attacks on Western malls.

“We call upon our Muslim brothers, particularly those in the West, to answer the call of Allah and target the disbelievers wherever they are … what if such an attack were to occur in the West Edmonton Mall in Canada?”

CNN, which first reported the story, said the Somalia-based militants have recruited members in Minneapolis, home to the largest Somali population in the United States and the Mall of America.

Al-Shabaab has also targeted youth in Canada, Finland and the U.K. for recruitment, but its past attacks have been limited to East Africa, CNN reported.

“The safety and security of all Canadians in Edmonton and across the country is of the utmost importance to all the RCMP and all police services and we take any threat to our country’s national security very seriously,” RCMP said in their statement. “The RCMP together with its partners in law enforcement will continue to investigate threats posed by terrorist entities to ensure Albertans and all Canadians stay safe.”
