Just read about this elsewhere. Tragic. And yeah; "how's this going to help their cause?" is a pretty good question.

Yeah, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan and Libya (*all those countries our tax dollars and weapons helped "LIBERATE" ): Why would you want to go there willingly these days? Sad, but they had to know the danger they were heading into..

Doubtful they thought they'd be in danger in the mountains. Hasn't been a deal. Have a number of friends who've been in the last few years and they all love the locals, and, likewise.

Heavy sigh. Have friends who have visas to go. Soon. Will be interesting to see what they do. Bad news for the local folk too.
