#11  The Arabs should review the last time the Foreign Legion was given free rein in an Arab country -- Algeria. Ask the Algerian terrorists how fun it was being interrogating by Legionnaires with no rules other than "make them talk".

#8  France has been fairly involved recently. Article says that it is likely the same group France raided a few weeks back which have the Niger hostages. If so, I have the feeling JFM will be right.

Which would add to this threat; breaking the good sport rules of the hostage exchange game and all would likely be thrown in with whatever other reasons to justify any sort of attack. An attack which will happen anyways, so might as well hang'em by the balls.

#7  Has the burqa ban taken effect in France yet?

Some senior French court has been given six months to review it to make sure there are no legal issues, Anguper Hupomosing9418. It's my understanding that unless they say no, and explain the reason satisfactorily, it will be a go at the end of the six months.

#1  Lebanon as well

Al Akhbar newspaper reported on Wednesday that the US Embassy in Lebanon called on its citizens to leave Lebanon within a week due to the deteriorating security situation.

The embassy has named some areas as "off-limits", said the newspaper, adding that US officials did not clarify the reasons behind the warning.
