Al-Qaeda Claims Kidnap of Algerian Envoy in Iraq
2005-07-24
Al-Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility yesterday for the kidnap of the chief of the Algerian mission in Baghdad, stepping up pressure on the new government struggling to quell relentless guerrilla violence. “Algeria rushed to obey the crusaders by sending its envoy to Iraq...did you not learn from the fate of the ambassador of the Egyptian tyrant?” asked the statement on an Islamist website frequently used by the group led by Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, Al-Qaeda’s leader in Iraq.

Algerian mission chief Ali Belaroussi, 62, and attache Azzedine Belkadi, 47, were snatched by gunmen in Baghdad on Thursday near the north African country’s mission. “A Foreign Ministry crisis cell is active and we are closely following the situation. But right now we have no comment (on Al-Qaeda’s statement),” Algeria’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdelhamid Chebchoub said. The statement did not mention the kidnapping of the attache Belkadi.

#1  Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi will no doubt try to first get his victims turned thru his famous men-to-boyz techniques of male bonding. If he cannot turn them, he may try other sphincterlating techniques he enjoys. This Abu Al-Zarqawi has the feet of clay that dissolve immediately when in the presence of helpless men & boys. His cover as a Muslim has been blown several times by his security people who oddly turn up in the desert with their hands tied behind them or their heads missing. So much for loyalty. Even UBL would have to watch his rear-end around Zarqawi. Thiese diplomats have no chance with this sick pervert of Islam. His path to glory is not the path of Islam or Allah, but that of a self-serving loser in love with his diminished manhood, love for boys, thrill for media attention and hunger for the sight of fear from his chosen enemies. He is a 2-hump camel running one hump short.
