The show is called “Death Making” in Arabic, hardly the way Al Qaeda probably wants itself described. But that is how the powerful pan-Arabic satellite channel Al Arabiya casts the terror organization and its foot soldiers in its popular television program. Hosted by female correspondent Rima Salha, the Dubai-based show is heading into its third year on Al Arabiya and aims to influence how the Arab world views Al Qaeda.

Pakistan is probably the biggest worry. I hope we have all the pieces in place–satellites that can track nuclear weapons and fissionable material, geiger counters & etc at all ports, contingency plans for isolating ships at sea believed to be carrying atomic weapons–for the time, if and when Pakistan falls and the jihadists get some nukes. The same technology and planning would also help vis-a-vis Iran, which if/when it gets the weapons may give them to Hamas–or Al Qaeda.
