Two Islamic extremist groups are trying to recruit commandos in Angola to carry out suicide missions outside the southwest African country. The head of Angolan intelligence, Gen. Fernando Garcia Miala, commented that at least two internationally known terrorist groups are present in Angola. According to Miala, the two groups are not only trying to recruit members, they also raise funds and hide fugitives. Miala added that the Muslim fundamentalists were especially keen to recruit former soldiers who specialized in engineering. According to Miala, however, the recruiting efforts were less than successful. "No candidate with the desired experience was signed up because the suicide mentality doesn't exist in our culture, especially not when it's for a foreign cause," he said. "We have also learned that some Angolans have been awarded scholarships by a so-called religious organization, but they were somewhere in Egypt in a center where they were learning Muslim fundamentalist doctrine." | Couldn't get into a good Saudi school, huh? |
