The Real Invasion of Africa and Other Not-Made-for-Hollywood Holy Wars

John Pilger, Truthout: The ''Islamic terrorism'' that is an excuse for the enduring theft of Africa s vast store of minerals was all but invented by US, Pakistani and British intelligence agencies, which created the mujahedin of al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
