In the aftermath of the terror campaign launched on Sep- tember 11,
2001, the United States declared war against global terror. It
identified the al-Qaida organization and Afghanistan under the
Taliban regime as the initial targets of the offensive, and Iraq as
the next. However, aside from the countries included by President
Bush in the "Axis of Evil" (Iraq, Iran, and North Korea), a
triangle of countries in the Red Sea region are also potential
targets in the war against terror--Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen. This
assessment is based on the historical record: Each of these
countries has in one form or another provided refuge for Islamic
terror organizations. Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen are Muslim states,
situated at the periphery of the heart of Islam, which is generally
identified as the Arab Peninsula, Egypt, and the Fertile Crescent.
This area is of strategic significance to both sides of the vital
shipping route that connects the Arabian Sea (the Indian Ocean) and
the Red Sea. Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaida, and members of other
radical Islamic organizations have found allies and safe havens in
both the heart of Islam and its periphery. The presence of radical
Islamic entities in the region, alongside local problems and
conflicts rooted in national, ethnic, and tribal issues, has turned
the Red Sea countries into a nucleus of instability and dissension,
one that threatens the security and peace of both neighboring and
more distant countries. Shay examines the three countries
designated as the Red Sea Terror Triangle, and explores the ties
each maintains with Islamic terror, as well as the reciprocal links
between them. Understanding these countries is of critical
importance, since all or some of them may constitute a base for
Islamic terror organizations in the future.
