Good News: al Qaeda "Splinter Group" Active in South Africa
Did you know that the U.S. embassy in South Africa was closed this week? What a few years ago would have been news worthy of discussion has been relegated to the back pages.
Something known by those in our behind the scenes webgroup, but not something I've heard reported in the MSM until today: there are a lot of radical Islamists in South Africa.
This may even shock most South Africans, who over the past decade have become so hypersensitive at being labeled an apartheid sympathizer if not properly displaying the correct multicultural attitudes that they've turned a blind eye to the growing threat.
From Terror Free Somalia:
he security threat that led to all U.S. government facilities in South Africa being closed this week came from an al-Qaeda splinter group, a South African newspaper reported on Thursday.The U.S. facilities were closed from Tuesday following a threat that the U.S. State Department had said was based on "pretty credible information".The Star newspaper said that, according to "well-placed security sources", the group had telephoned the U.S. embassy in Pretoria on Monday warning of planned attacks against several of the country's buildings in South Africa.Watch your six if you're in South Africa. And I mean long term, not just this week.
