Real Documented Threat or Circumstantial Specter? asks theCouncil on Hemispheric Affairs.
The pairing now known as FARQaeda would represent a disturbing alliance because of the unexamined but equally important backflow, or two-way flow, in this illegal embrace of smuggling junctions.
But how real is the threat? wonders COHA’s Leah Chavla.
no convincing evidence has demonstrated that all or even some of the African drug trafficking agents involved in this lucrative ring are actually members or affiliates of any terrorist organization.
That’s not how the transnational drug traffickers work (for the most part).
Non-simplistic discussion on the jump.
