"Brigades of death" are AWOL

"Brigades of death" are AWOL
A year ago today I posted about how the Abu-Hafs al-Masri/al-Qaeda Brigades
delivered a letter to a London Arabic-language newspaper overnight, saying: "Learn your lesson, you lackeys of America, the brigades of death are at your gates . . . Our brigades are now preparing for a fresh strike. Will it be the turn of Japan, America, Italy, Britain, the al-Sauds, Australia . . .?"
I don't recall this ever happening. It occurs to me that reading al Qaeda's threats are like listening to high school boys talk about romantic entanglements - those who don't actually do anything brag the most.
