Winds of Change.NET runs "Winds of War" every Monday & Thursday - a fast, convenient, high-powered round-up of global developments that matter in the War on Terror.

Thanks to a scheduling glitch, we have 2 editions today. Venemous Kate's Winds of War: 2003-07-10 is up right now on Winds of Change.NET. As a bonus, I'm posting excerpts from Dan Darling's Winds of War bulletin here in relevant areas of The Command Post.

• The GSPC has assassinated an Algerian politician near Tizi-Ouzou. In the meantime, the Algerian government has released two leaders of the Islamic Salvation Front, the political wing of the GIA, after twelve years in jail.

• Time Magazine has an interesting article up on al-Qaeda's recruiting efforts among Canadian Muslims.

• North Korea is apparently conducting high-level explosives testing as a prelude to testing a nuclear bomb.

• We always try to end on a lighter note if possible, but I think the title for this one pretty much stands on its own.
