Sadly events in Yemen show Three Kisses is realistic
September 2, 2009 by Heath
Over the past year or so, several events show the continued instability in Yemen. Villagers in the north of Yemen continue to battle each other over control of territory. Saudis are accused of infiltrating to stir up trouble in Yemen. The U.S. worries out loud that Yemen will become the next staging area for al Qaeda. Is it any wonder that the community that is now in Lackawanna fled to get away from that. It is no surprise that al Qaeda in the form of Mohammad Fadel would tag along and get involved in activities in the US. And of course Omar would prefer to stay in the US and become the imam at the largest mosque in Washington DC rather than go back.

Here is where Brad goes to work. He takes this exit off the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, which as we see in a later chapter is only a short distance from his apartment.
He parks his car near where the blue NSA sign stands.
He then walks into the big NSA building where the Arabic language section is buried deep inside.
