#1 Don't think there's a big Korean islamic community to hide in. And South Korean intelligence has plenty of experience hunting spys and infiltrators. Unless al-Qaeda has a joint cooperation agreement with North Korea, which is a real possibility, I don't think they'd last long. And the Koreans play rough.

#2 And the Koreans play rough.
Correction, Steve. The Koreans play to win. They have no second option. One loss to the North and it could be all over. They know this, and it affects everything they do. NOT winning every match is an option only soft, reasonably secure Western civilizations can indulge in.

#3 I will take the Koreans and whatever odds anyone wants to waste on the Jihadists. Korea's not the place you want to 'probe' for weakness. they shoot 1st, 2nd, & 3rd and then ask questions. Place your bets now.
