Terror threat ‘very worrying’ in Africa: US general

AFP
September 15, 2011

Africa must improve security cooperation in battling extremists or face the prospect of a continent-wide terror network threatening the region and the United States, a top US commander warned Wednesday.

General Carter Ham, head of US African command AFRICOM, said countries in North Africa face increasing threats from terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda affiliates who wish to join forces — as well as from extremists in Libya who might fan out to other locales, bringing a proliferation of weapons and an exodus of people from the war-torn country.

“Al-Qaeda main may be somewhat diminished, but the affiliates, both acknowledged and those who would like to be affiliated, may be gaining in capacity. And that’s what I see in Africa and that’s what concerns me,” Ham told reporters in Washington.

  1. Hey General Carter, you got access to guns, grab one and go ‘sort ‘em out’ like a good god fearing, terrorist hating American ‘patriot’.

  2. FOKKEN PANZY!!

  3. Well, fuk – OBVIOUSLY! We just helped elements of terrorist organizations become legitimate governments in Egypt Libya (literally as I’m typing this) – sooo NO SHIT the threat is increasing! We set them up so that we can knock ‘em down. SSDD. Palin doing coke is more newsworthy then this general’s concerns! †

  4. and the “refugees” will claim asylum in europe and continue theire jihad against all non islamic.

  5. PSSTTT!!!! Hey General Ham, in case you haven’t read any of the REAL news reports and actual journalists, NATO is funding al Qaeda in N. Africa. Those Libyan “freedom fighters”? Yeah, they’re mercenaries brought in by NATO. Pass it on!

  6. While others “threaten” us, our own government attacks us.
    Peace

  7. So, by this logic, we should stop NATO from aiding the Al Qaeda take over of Lybia, right?

    All this double think is starting to hurt my head.

  8. Brought to you by your ” Depends ” lobby …

    P.S. Workin’ tirelessly fer ya !!!

  9. We are in Africa sick of Karazay’s Governments, we Africans are tired of the planted governments since the days of colonizations, those governments that work the benefits of their bosses in Europe and US. I am sick of France sucking our country’s wealth like a leech. I just hate France from the bottom of my life, I’m saying no to my Government giving our wealth (seas, minerals, and slaving people) to France and I don’t mind being labeled as a terrorist. I want our wealth to stay in my country so I can work and live happy. I just hate France for stealing us since hundreds of years.

    • How’re those chinese labor camps working out for you?

      • They learned from you guys to take over countries by any chance they get,and we don’t have those Chinese in our country but they are somewhere else fighting the US who is going to win the other territories. Hater.

        • Looks like you are the one full of hate. Can’t say as I blame you. For what its worth, I’d like the populations of everyone that trades with America to profit.
          You run your own gigs and trade with us. We both profit. No reason to kill each other over it. Have a good day.

  10. Just nuke entire Africa so the Ebola-Zaire clouds can come to Europe and MURDER US ALL HAHA!

  11. We better start bombing. Just in case.

    • Indeed cowardly aerial strafing, missiles, depleted uranium rockets and bombs are humanitarian foreign-peace aid. It’s inhumane to allow brown and black people to prosper and live in peace if they don’t worship at the established corporate white-racist Likudnik-religious altar we are establishing in Palestine.

  12. We had to invade Afganistan to protect us from Al-CIA’da, Iraq to keep them from getting a new foothold, and now, we must conquer the entire continent of Africa! And I bet we must start with the countries with the most resources, and work our way down. Libya WAS #1, whose #2?

    • Indeed robbing and handing over Libya to Sunni-Fascist ZioNAZI al CIAduh radicals was a stupid mistake, please don’t remind us how corrupt and criminal you are.

  13. Come on Genaral, what the hell? anyone who said no to the US in THEIR OWN COUNTRY is labeled as a terrorist!!!? Enough sucking Africa’s blood for centuries, they want some freedom and enjoying their own wealth instead of feeding Europe and the US elites.
