Afghanistan, the CENTRAL front, nothing to see anywhere else, right?

No muslim nation has yet even MENTIONED the cause of these war criminals, or their authority to operate as they see fit.Al Qaida chief, 'most wanted' Algeria, sentenced to death in absentia
CAIRO — Algeria has sentenced an Al Qaida network chief to death.An Algiers court has sentenced to death Abdul Malik Droukdel, identified as the commander of the Al Qaida Organization in the Islamic Maghreb. The criminal court sentenced the 38-year-old Droukdel to death in absentia.
"He is the most wanted man in Algeria," a security source said.
Droukdel was one of 53 people prosecuted by Algeria in connection with AQIM's insurgency campaign since 2006. The defendants, most of whom were convicted, were charged with an attack in April 2009 in which 11 people were killed and more than 100 injured in Algiers.
The Algiers court also sentenced to death an AQIM cell leader identified as Salih Salih Rabah Gheito. Gheito was convicted of conducting the communications and other preparations for the cell that attacked police in Algiers.
This marked the first major trial of AQIM suspects. Many of the defendants were charged with participating in the double suicide bombing that killed more than 40 people in Algiers in 2007.
During the trial, witnesses said some AQIM bombing attacks took months to prepare. They said members of the leadership monitored preparations and selected recruits.
Still, none of the defendants admitted to having met AQIM chief Droukdel. Security sources said Droukdel has taken extensive measures to protect himself from identification and arrest.
Is it the west raping their lands and women?
Is it our despoiling their natural resources so we can drive to our breast augmentation surgeries?
Or maybe it's something else.
