NILES, Ohio -  A Somali-based terror group has called for attacks on U.S. shopping malls, including America's largest, the Mall of America.  

The Minnesota shopping center released a statement saying additional security measures some covert, some visible- have been implemented. The threat did not deter some people from visiting today.

21 News reached out to local mall security amid the threats, Eastwood Mall Communications director Joe Bell says, "We have a variety of security measures in place, some seen, others unseen. We don't discuss the specifics of those measures in order not to tip off potential aggressors."

The Shenango Valley and Southern Park Malls have not yet commented on their security.
