Hi, I'm Kevin hailing from northern New Jersey and a recent graduate from Duke University.
My Tumblelog has no underlying theme or subtext. I hope to use this as a medium to share with others interesting, captivating, and/or amusing pieces of information that I have come across each day. Hopefully, in the process, I can enrich your day by posting things that you have not seen before.

“[Jihadists’] latest sanctuary lies in unruly Yemen, headquarters for al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, which last year pulled off a series of local bombings, including at the U.S. embassy in the capital Sana, killing 13. The al Qaeda chapter in Yemen has re-emerged under the leadership of a former secretary to Osama bin Laden… Ninety-seven of the 210 left at Gitmo are from Yemen, and if this transfer goes smoothly, the Administration wants to repatriate many more.
