| Spain Jugs Algerian Snuffy |

| Source: Tehran Times Spanish police have arrested an Algerian man suspected of links to a militant Islamic group and who had allegedly trained at Osama bin Laden's camps in Afghanistan, officials said on Friday. Abdelkrim Hammad, alias Aldelnasa, was picked up in the wine-growing region of La Rioja on Thursday on an international arrest warrant. He is wanted in his native Algeria for premeditated murder, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. "The detainee is a very dangerous individual who was trained in the Afghanistan camps controlled by Osama bin Laden where he specialized in handling explosives," the statement said. "In addition, to his terrorist activity in Algeria, he participated as an Islamic combatant in the jihad (holy war) in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo." The calaboose sounds like a fine place for him, at least until he's handed over to the Algerians. Then he can have a nice repose in the boneyard. In Europe since the mid-1990s, Hammad has recruited and trained young Arab men for the jihad, and formed part of the logistics network for Islamic groups linked to Algeria's GIA, the ministry said. Anything that hurts GIA is probably good for the rest of us... |
