In a more down-to-earth analysis, Todd Nettleton of Voice of the Martyrs tells Mission Network News that the attack will have major repercussions on U.S.-based missionary and relief organizations around the world. "I would venture to say that most missionary organizations, especially those working in politically sensitive areas, would have some kind of a crisis plan," he says. "For most of the Americans on the ground in another country right now, the best advice is to lay low, stay out of sight."

Speaking of missionaries and relief workers, The Washington Post reports, "Some regional analysts said that the people on trial [by the Taliban for promoting Christianity]—four Germans, two Americans and two Australians—might now be used by the Taliban to ensure a restrained U.S. reaction if Washington decides to launch any retaliatory move against Afghanistan or [Osama] bin Laden."
