#1 "It could be Iraq, Somalia, Pakistan, there are so many troubled regions in the world. I can't specify."

#2 This is a real riot coming from the Saudis, considering 15 of the 19 September 11th hijackers were Saudis.

#3 "It could be Iraq, Somalia, Pakistan, there are so many troubled regions in the world.

I don't see aviation training taking place in Iraq or Somalia, but there are a few other places left out of the list. I'd add Syria, Iran, Egypt, Libya, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sudan, and Eritrea to the list of countries where islamists can get the necessary training, either with government support, or without it. While Malaysia isn't "troubled", it does have the infrastructure and personnel to provide flight training, and a growing insurgency on its northern border with Thailand. I would also look toward several Latin American countries, especially Paraguay, Bolivia, and Venezuela, for possible sources of training as well. If the Saudis would cut funding to some of the less-well-watched "charities" and radical Wahabbist clerics, the level of jihad would drop considerably.
