Well, it happened. Someone blew themselves up along with a couple of cars full of tourists in Marib, Yemen. I heard about it as I flipped through the channels, of course the newsman said that “Al-Queda” is suspected. Al-Queda my ass. Anyone that does ANY research will know that the bedouins have been raising hell there for a while, they killed 4 government soldiers sent to reopen a road a little while back. They have some grievances having to do with what they think a company and the government “owe” them (don’t get me started). Even I know that this has nothing to do with Al-Queda or Islam and everything with jobs and tribalism. They have upped the ante, they used to be happy kidnapping tourists from there, now they want to kill them. I do wonder what the general feeling about this is in Marib, they have never shown this kind of hatred towards westerners before. They used to kidnap them in order to embarrass the government, I can assure you that the government response will be brutal…
