Al Qaeda Has Turned Into Office Space

By: Sara

The Associated Press got their hands on a fascinating piece of information. They found a letter from the leaders of Al Qaeda in northern Africa that is essentially an employee performance review for one of their terrorists. The man being reviewed, Moktar Belmoktar, was told he was not a team player and not good at his job. The bizarre part was seeing his higher ups complain about Belmoktar not answering his phone enough, not making it to terror meetings, and not filling out expense reports. EXPENSE REPORTS! It feels like it is a memo from "Office Space" about TPS reports and needing to come in on Saturday.

Even though they run somewhat like a business, we can never forget that their "business" is death and destruction. The man who got the poor performance review actually quit Al Qaeda and started his own group. That group has already been responsible for killing 101 people.
