ARTICLE: One apartment to the other, AP, April 28, 2009

An old theme for me, going back to a day spent at Central Command's Tampa HQ staring at a giant wall map and talking seams: when driven out of southwest Asia, the radical Salafi heads NE into Central Asia (harder) or SW into east Africa (arguably easier).

While it's easy to over hype the radical threat in Africa, attention must be paid. After all, this is why we created Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa years ago and why CJTF-HOA became the template for Africa Command.
