Omani Terrorists?

I was shocked to see this article on Long War Journal as I was reviewing my RSS feeds this evening. One Omani terrorist is counterintuitive, as Omanis follow the moderate and tolerant Ibadhi sect; the idea of a group of Omani jihadists is almost beyond belief. I visited Oman earlier this year, and fell in love with the country and its people. To think that several of Oman's sons have dedicated themselves to jihad is tragic.
