Attack in Algiers: A Warning to Europe ...
Death and destruction revisited the Algerian capital of Algiers Tuesday morning when a pair of powerful car bombs exploded, and claimed what early estimates placed as 62 lives. Though no claims of responsibility have been made, security experts say there's little doubt the attack was the work of al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), a group that formed an alliance with Osama bin Laden's global jihad in 2006. Officials say Tuesday's spectacular strike increases the risk that AQIM is ramping up its violent struggle to bring down the Algerian government. And as the fourth big hit by AQIM in less than a year, the incident highlights the group's increasing organizational skills and establishes it as the greatest potential terror threat to continental Europe as well.

Why would leftmedia terrorists report terrorism from their Anti-American allies?
Hey hey Zawahri hey hey.
How many Muslims did you kill today?
Al queda ha moved on to softer targets because they proved they CAN’T run with the big dogs. They ran like cowards out of afghanistan and iraq. They are dogs and goats on the battlefields
So they spin it to say bush inflamed the region. But I read it as aq cowardice they have lost in iraq.
That’s the beauty of Islam. There’s no need for a central command when everyone agrees that the creed is immutable and unchangeable, and the creed explicitly calls for conversion or death of the infidel. The controlling force here is the Koran itself, and since the words are considered unchangeable, no one will ask for interpretation. Therefore, it’s quite possible to have a dozen Islamic factions all fighting different wars, but still solidly under one banner. Mohammed did a great job coming up with a political and military structure that is nearly impossible to subvert and destroy from within while providing a focus for expansion.
Of course, the non-Islamic population of the world can decide to rain death and destruction on the Moslems. The Moslems are betting that their enemies are too weak to do just that.
For the most part they have bet right. But history has a way of dealing with those that live by the sword.
They've suffered over 100,000 dead—40,000 in recent years. But you hardly seee anything about it.
