U.S. Intensifies Anti-Terrorism Strategy in Africa

[DuctapeFatwa]

The commander of U.S. forces in Europe met South African President Thabo Mbeki on Friday for talks on America's new security strategy in Africa to combat terrorism, military officials said.

"Africa is the logical place to be concerned about," General James L. Jones told local television after the meeting.

The United States sees Africa as a soft target for terror networks due to weak institutions, poor security and policing and long stretches of unguarded coastline.

2. If it involves American guns, and American money, you can be sure that

it will benefit the arms, oil, human trafficking, or drug industries, and probably more than one of them.
