#1 The area known as the Sahel, which runs from Niger in the south to Morocco in the north, is just miles from Spain, which offers a gateway to and from Europe.
Was gonna say something about that, but nevermind.

"One hundred percent of new recruits go straight to Iraq."
Giving them a chance to fulfill their jihad studies in an area set up to deal with this. Bet they stand out like a hayseed in an art museum too. Rather than them sitting around the projects with idle hands trying to figure out the next car-b-que etc.

As for the desert camps I seem to remember a scene from Patriot Games unless we are watching ants traveling to/from a hill...both I like.

#2 Why do they have to return to Morocco to plan attacks?
