In light of possible jihad attacks. "US Embassy in Algiers receives terror alert," from AP (thanks to all who sent this in):
The US Embassy in Algiers ordered its employees to tightly restrict their movements and urged other Americans in Algeria to do the same, citing indications of possible terrorist attacks.Security concerns have been high in the Algerian capital since Dec. 11 suicide bombings targeted UN offices and a government building, killing at least 37 people, including 17 UN employees. An Algeria-based al-Qaida affiliate claimed responsibility for the attack.
"In response to continuing indications of possible terrorist attacks in Algiers, the Embassy has instructed its employees to avoid nonessential movement around the city until further notice, and may occasionally restrict movement completely," the embassy said in a message Friday.
The message also "strongly encouraged" American citizens in Algeria to avoid restaurants, nightclubs, churches and schools frequented by foreigners. The note was sent to embassy employees and Americans registered with consular authorities.
For all that will be traveling, the Department of State has issued a new travel advisory.

Interesting article from jpost.com by Tawfik Hamid, a former protege of Zawahiri's.He's trying to establish a "moderate" Islam. He's mainly just been attacked, often physically, for his efforts. His Koranic quotes and ideas are right in line with Robert and Hugh:
