Exclusive footage gives rare insight into life in al Qaeda insurgency

Given how grotesquely liberal and crappy the BBC News was when I lived overseas, I wasn’t feeling too keen on giving France24 the time of day. Let’s face it; thanks to toads like Jacques Chirac, a lot of my fellow Americans, expatriates included, considered the French to be, as that lovely sorbiquet goes… ‘Cheese-eating surrender [...]
