An update on this story. “Thai police hunt second bomb plot suspect in Bangkok,” by Kate Hodal for the Guardian, January 15 (thanks to Kenneth): Police are hunting a terror suspect believed […]
USAID forking over $750 million in jizya to aid “Palestinian” infrastructure
All this money for infrastructure will free up more money for jihad. Apparently no amount of jihad terror and calls for genocide from the Palestinians will deter Obama from sending money to the “Palestinians.” “USAID Contracts Start Flowing in $750 Million Palestinian Infrastructure Project,” from the U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor, January 14 (thanks to […]

Somalia: Americans rise in rank inside al-Shabaab
