Bill Roggio's State of the Jihad -2007




You are totally missing the boat if you do not read over Bill Roggio's "State of the Jihad" over at The Long War Journal. I am only going to excerpt one piece of that but strongly encourage you all to go view this incredible compilation of a country by country evaluation of jihad in 2007. Make it a New Year's resolution to read the entire piece from Bill. You can find State of the Jihad here in its entirety.

One example of the excellent reporting from Bill:


Coalition and Afghan forces have scored significant victories in dismantling the Taliban’s leadership. Mullah Dadullah Akhund, a member of the Taliban’s Shura Majlis and the Taliban’s senior military commander, was killed, as was Mullah Berader. Dadullah was replaced by his brother Mansoor, who has been relieved of his command by Mullah Omar. Also, Siraj Haqqani has assumed significant status as a joint Taliban and al Qaeda leader in the eastern and southern province. The Taliban and al Qaeda are operating from their bases in Pakistan.
