Is Europe awakening to al Qaida threat?
Word has it that al Qaida has its grimy eyes set on Europe as a target for its terrorist activities. This may be just speculation, or it may be real. Would you like to be the one in charge that has to make decision? What would you do? …
“I’m more startled by his sudden proficiency in correct pronunciation.”
Shhhhhh…he’s practising. Somebody spilled the beans to him about the language having words with more than two syllables, and he’s test driving some of them.
