Al Qaeda in the Maldives...

Video raises Qaeda fears in Maldives (First it was Swat, the Switzerland of Pakistan and now Himandhoo Island, an Indian Ocean paradise. These AQ creeps love to go screw up tourist economies, don't they? I love the sound of Himandhoo Island, but I don't think I'll be buying a ticket there anytime soon)

MALE: A propaganda video shot inside a radical Maldives mosque and posted on the Internet has raised fears that Al Qaeda is gaining a foothold in the Indian Ocean tourist paradise. The video was recorded at the Dhar-al-Khuir mosque on the remote Himandhoo island. Under the catchline “Your brothers in the Maldives are calling you,” the trailer shows images of masked men praying. A follow-up feature is promised. Nick Grace, a counter-terrorism analyst said the propaganda video was an attempt to attract “finance and recruits” for militant activity in the Maldives.
