...unleashed many of its most violent terrorist acts (bombings and shootings) in cities like Algiers, its kidnappings have all taken place in the vast Sahel region stretching across Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Mali, Niger, Libya and Tunisia. According to experts, the number of insurgents roaming the desert area in four-wheel vehicles has increased from a few score to perhaps 200 in the past two years, including both hard-core members and supporters who periodically participate in missions...
...industry, and more particularly the American car industry, has always favored blunt force in building and marketing cars. Make V8-powered cars that get poor mileage and sell them to people who don't need heavy four-wheel drive cars. Make claims that no one builds a better car even if all of the industry research says otherwise. Market cars by having women in bikinis sitting on the hoods. Toyota never had Miss September sitting in one of its cars, at least not that the public ever knew...
...school victims, just as they did the storm victims. After the hurricane, overseas volunteers helped clear roads, reconstruct bridges, and flew in to distribute much needed supplies. But hundreds of thousands of people live in remote areas that are inaccessible with even the sturdiest of four-wheel drive vehicles. There are only 2,400 miles of road in Haiti, which is the size of Maryland; and of those roads, just 600 miles are paved. There are also only 10,000 doctors, most of whom are located in the urban centers...
...hard to describe how unwelcoming the western Arizona border is. The budget for replacement tires for Yuma Sector's four-wheel drives is $10,000 per week. Nearly every living thing either is venomous or has spines--or both--as we discovered when we spent two days at a CBP outpost called Camp Desert Grip. While exploring an ash-blackened waste of extinct volcanoes near the dead heart of the Sonoran Desert, we came across one of the many graves alongside a trail known as the Devil's Highway. Lava stones on the cindered earth spelled out 1871. Undisturbed...
...hour of fruitless searching, Dart decided the walkers must have had a big head start. He peeled off to refuel. Along the way, we passed over dozens of abandoned cars and bicycles left behind by smugglers. Aloft again, Dart picked up word from CBP agents who were using four-wheel ATVs to track a large party of fresh prints. The newcomers were moving single file toward a mesquite thicket. From the air, it's extremely difficult to see a human being hidden under a tree, but having a helicopter overhead freezes walkers in place. The agents hoped Dart's arrival...
