Algerian snuffies slaughter six
2002-02-10
  • Six people were killed and one injured by an armed group south of the Algerian capital. The victims, all members of the same family, were found at a hamlet in Bougara. The latest killings came the day after the head of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), one of two main extremist groups in Algeria's civil war, was killed by security forces near the capital Algiers.
    Could be an "Our Leader is Dead, but We're Still Here" killing, or it could be one of those combinations of the business and personal. Likely the latter, since they're all from the same family.
    A word of caution in regards to Algeria: the government and the Islamic fundies are both thugs. In a real sense, both sides are wearing black hats as the fellow selling the white hats to the good guys went out of business long ago and moved to San Jose.

    AFP says the killings were the work of GIA.

    Admittedly, the Algerian situation poses two problems, but removing the first leaves the second easier to solve.
