terrorism as PR backfires

during the summer, pew global released its study tracking attitudes throughout the world towards extremism, terrorism and bin laden.

disturbingly, the jordanian population had 'positive' outlooks on terrorism and bin laden. meanwhile, countries targeted by terrorist attacks were in the process of turning away from these attitudes.

however, with al qaeda taking credit for the amman hotel bombings, jordanians protested iraqi al qaeda head zarqawi.

the intercepted letter from al qaeda #2 man zawahiri warns zarqawi [bugmenot login] that indiscriminate terrorist acts may alienate formerly receptive populations.
