I know Robb has written in the past that the increasing power of non-state/criminal forces offers Al Qaeda potential allies, hired or otherwise, in an attack on America. Thinking southern border. He's referring to MS-13, Mexican drug cartels, and U.S. gangs as well.

This thread is probably more speculative than anything, but does it make sense for mainly criminal, non-Arab enterprises to be aiding Al Qaeda and its ilk, given potential consequences?
