Al-Qaeda: Alive and well in South Africa

That should scare the s*^t out of anyone residing in ZA. It sure doesn't sit well with me, being in the Garden Route ..

Quite a scary read indeed. I've worked in some rather insecure places, and I can tell you that the international organisations are usually well protected, it's the locals around that bear the brunt of any attacks. How this is carrying on is beyond me. There must be a lot of grease continuously flowing to the right palms for the powers that be to turn a blind eye.
