In the piece, Cupp uncovers the links between the Polisario and al Qaeda -- but the naysayers have described the rumors as "fear mongering," dismissing the links to the Polisario and the idea that Western Sahara could be the newest stronghold for al Qaeda.

CAIRO [MENL] -- Algeria's intelligence community has determined that Al Qaida was cooperating with the Polisario separatist movement in Western Sahara.As Cupp asks at the end of her piece: "Is anyone listening?"

The sources said Al Qaida has been financing Polisario convoys that have brought everything from food to weapons and explosives to AQIM.
