Don't forget UNITA in Angola, jointly set up by the US (via CIA) and
apartheid-era South Africa and which is still bringing terror to Angola and
its neighbours. Although long since uncontrollable from either of its
original sponsors, I hope the new found war on terrorism includes them.
There are a few other US sponsored terrorist chickens about to come home to
roost, just like bin Laden.
