Charles Taylor, Al Qaeda & Diamonds: Debate Rages On

By Andrew Cochran

This week's "U.S. News & World Report" has an excellent article on Charles Taylor, the former Liberian dictator sought for crimes against humanity, and his links to al Qaeda and possible diamond trades. The article quotes Contributing Experts Doug Farah and Dennis Lormel, who represent the opposing sides of the al Qaeda-diamonds issue. Doug posted here and here about Taylor and the now-designated Victor Bout, and added more on his own blog. We expect to have more on the al Qaeda-diamonds issue on the CT Blog.
