Al Qaeda use to be a sophisticated cell system. That has been broken up. BUT, since that was broken up, Al Qaeda has morphed into a BRAND name.
Lone groups and individuals act on their own, then apply for the license to use Al Qaeda. It is much like a contest now.
What the media is doing is actually trying to deflect international connections to this albanian group. It goes down two rabbit holes that I’m aware of.
1) 3 of the illegal immigrants/terrorists were roofers that appear to be connected to GAF (about GAF: http://www.answers.com/topic/gaf-2 *memories of WW2!). That means they would be connected to others in official position due to business licenses and work permits.
2) These Albanians may be related to the mafia.

BALKAN CONNECTION (Albanian mafia in 80es threatening to Rudi Giuliani)
That’s a very interesting tangled web. Thanks for the links.
My first thought when all this broke was why in heck were muslims allowed to deliver pizza to a military base?
And as a funny aside because I’m half Italian........what do they know about making pizza. :)
