Victims... always more innocent victims. And, there will always be more, and they will be throughout the countries of the Maghreb and elsewhere so long as their training centres and hide-outs are not definitively closed. For example, there are the Polisario separatists' bases in Tindouf and southern Algeria. Do you reap what you sow??? Yes, but in this case here, the neighbours, who have perhaps sown nothing, are the one who are reaping the innocent victims by fault of the businessmen generals and the silence of their criminal accomplices. How long will this last??? Poor Maghreb!!!
