File under: al-Qaeda in North Africa

#1 Are they operating from weakness? As I recall, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat(GSPC) joined Al Qaeda as their unit in the Maghreb because the Algerians had pounded them pretty badly. Since then, while they're doing well in terms of smuggling drugs from Central and South America up to Europe, they're still getting pounded by Algeria, with the neighbors getting into the act, too. Does all that lovely money balance out death and disdain from the neighboring tribes?
