“What is the brothers’ plan in the Islamic Magreb?” That’s the question raised today by Shmukh member Abu Safiyya. He thinks it’s perfectly legitimate to kill troops but it’s getting Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM) nowhere. AQIM should be going after the leadership of the militaries in the region.
Some readers are sympathetic but most respond that you have to kill troops to get to the officers. To which Abu Safiyya retorts, “What effect does it have on the tyrants to kill a thousand or two thousand of their servants?” Abu Safiyya’s retort is inadequately answered with, “Show us a better plan.”
