The seemingly blind attack by Al-Qaeda was actually a cover for others to destroy the French Air Force Base in Djibouti...
The French were particularly unfortunate, not only did their airport lose its support capabilities, but an expensive refueling aircraft was also damaged in the attack.
Faced with an onslaught from Mossad, the people at the French Air Force Base performed astonishingly!
It's hard for most to imagine how such a major air force base could have such lax defenses.
It's one thing for someone to slip in and plant bombs, which could be explained by the complexity of personnel at this stage, but being bombed so embarrassingly by drones is a definite loss of standing.
France is Africa's Daddy, and now you've suffered a terrorist attack at your most important airbase in Africa, how can that be tolerated?
