"Only last week I was in a cab and the driver was listening to a speech encouraging people to go to Jihad across the globe"
The Jordanian journalist Natasha Tynes (thanks to JS), now based in Qatar, was recently uncomfortably close to a jihadist explosion in Doha — not that she was much surprised:
The borders for GCC (Gulf Countries) members are open, any GCC resident can move freely. I hate to sound judgmental but the signs were here. Religious extremism is not absent from Qatar. Only last week I was in a cab and the driver was listening to a speech encouraging people to go to Jihad across the globe. The preacher highlighted specific areas: Iraq, Palestine, Chechnya and Kashmir. The driver didn't seem to be bothered by what he was hearing, he just sat quietly absorbing it all. The two of us listened to that speech in the cab from my house to work. It was still going when I got out.
The fact that an Egyptian national decided to blow himself up as a form of Jihad (since he's killing mostly westerners) should not come as a surprise. Many here are likely being convinced by what extremists preach; brainwashing is possible, just sit in a cab all day listening to the sort of stuff I'm describing. I never felt this type of extremism in Jordan. People there are just more aware and skeptical of whatever ideology comes their way. Things are, unfortunately, not the same here.
We continue to hear that the jihadists are a tiny minority. Yet again and again we see reports indicating that their reach and influence is much greater than one might expect -- for example, they seem to have a place on the Qatari airwaves, and at least one devoted listener. I suspect they have many more than that as well.

I sent Western Union hand-delivered messages to my 3 representatives and it was only $9.95 for all 3. If everyone who can afford it will do it, it may have a more powerful impact on Terri's behalf.

Release Number: 05-03-17
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IED DEFUSED BY AFGHAN, COALITION FORCES
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Coalition forces and Afghan police discovered and defused an improvised explosive device March 17 east of Gardez.
Afghan police forces and coalition explosive ordnance disposal troops worked together to defuse the bomb, which was built from a rocket, said Lt. Col. Jack Knox, IED Task Force (Afghanistan) commander.
“Ninety percent of IEDs discovered are reported by Afghans – police, civilians and military,” Knox said. The number of IEDs turned in by locals is up by 30 percent since last summer.
An investigation into the Gardez IED is ongoing, Knox said.
In a separate incident, an assortment of materials associated with the construction of IEDs was recovered by coalition forces conducting a search north of Kandahar.
“Incidents like these, turning in IEDs and weapon caches, are a measure of how the Afghan people have supported the central government since the presidential election and it shows that the insurgents are isolated,” Knox said.

Release Number: 05-03-16
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AFGHANS, COALITION FORCES WORK TO RID AFGHANISTAN OF WEAPONS
BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Coalition forces recovered several weapons caches this week, some following tips from local Afghans.
On Thursday, troops around the country secured multiple caches – small steps toward ridding Afghanistan of illegal weapons stockpiles.
Forty-three percent of all weapon caches are turned in by Afghans, said Brig. Gen. James Champion, deputy commander of Combined Joint Task Force 76.
“Every time an Afghan turns over munitions, that’s one more Afghan on the side of peace rather than violence,” Champion said. “Every bomb we find is one less the enemy can use against the Afghan people and Coalition forces.”
On Thursday, Afghan police led Coalition forces to a cache near Forward Operating Base Salerno in Khowst Province that had an anti-personnel mine, a hand grenade and a rocket.
During a search Thursday north of Kandahar, troops discovered a cache of weapons, money and materials to build homemade bombs.
Troops recovered 25 rocket-propelled grenades, three tank rounds, three mortar rounds and roughly 100,000 Afghani notes worth about $2,300.
Also in Khowst Province, Coalition forces found three AK-47 machine guns, ammunition and 8,000 Pakistani Rupees worth roughly $136.
Near Gardez, troops secured several rifles, pistols, 1,500 rounds of ammunition and two hand grenades. Another cache seizure near Gardez in the Paktya Province turned up a 60 mm mortar, five 82 mm mortars and two 60 mm projectiles. Nearby, Coalition forces discovered a cache of 33 rocket-propelled grenades and 30 rocket-propelled grenade boosters.
In Ghazni Province, troops searching an Afghan compound found nine recoilless rifle rounds, 18 rocket-propelled grenades, two boxes of anti-aircraft rounds and 200 AK-47 rounds of ammunition loaded in magazines.
All the caches were secured by ordnance disposal crews.
