Turns out to be a photograph of an armed robbery taking place in Miami, Florida. The image is even listed on the FBI website.

They could give the Sheffield Star a run for it's money in the shoddy, poor, lazy journalism department.

Looks like the Daily Mail have now taken down the picture in question and news story.

 

In the OP's FBI link it was the 4th picture down that the Daily Mail was reporting to be an image of the Kenyan Shopping Mall Terrorists.

 

Don't people do basic checks these days before reporting on a news story. The photo was even credited to a Daily Mail staff photographer.
