Who knows who was in that prison in Agfhanistan that might now be running loose? Common thieves? Card-carrying members of al Qaeda? I haven't heard the specifics of that just yet. <BR/><BR/>I have long wondered how the UAE maintained such relative peace over the years. Considering the excess, liberal attitude towards things that are haram, lots of western interest, greed, etc. <BR/><BR/>Going back 10 years I recall homemade bombs being found in the Um Sequim Spinneys. Carrefour, when it was still "Continent," received some threats. We joked about the cashiers wearing red and white boat shirts, black berets, waving French flags, and proclaiming, "But we're French, you see!!" Allegedly, Pakistani expats in the UAE were behind those. Still, lots of changes in the region might have upset the normal balance. A healthy sense of awareness goes a long way. I'm not suggesting anyone pack up and go home, but I would be more aware of my surroundings that normal.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/06455506176926199209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655889105820772060.post-44154988265648954972008-06-18T09:45:00.000+03:002008-06-18T09:45:00.000+03:00I'm not worried.
