Can General Linder’s Special Operations Forces Stop
the Next Terrorist Threat?
On a searing morning this spring,
Brig. Gen. James B. Linder leaned against the red-webbing seats of a C-130 as
it flew over the Sahara. On his camouflaged knee, he balanced two dog-eared
Moleskine notebooks and a map of Africa. Linder, who is in his early 50s,
commands the United States Special Operations forces in Africa. He was on his
way to visit a detachment of 12 Army Green Berets training with African troops
to fight Al Qaeda and its affiliates in Niger.
