| Algeria: Islamist condemns rebel attack |
| 2006-11-02 |
| (SomaliNet) Algeria's chief Islamist opposition member, Rabah Kebir, has decried the rebel bombing, surprising Libyans. "What happened was a terrorist act that I condemn and I believe it was a reaction to the new political dynamic since our return to the country. We strongly support operations by the military and security forces to ensure security for Algerians. Violence is no longer justified. The army has to protect citizens and we obviously support its operations," Kebir said. This follows the Sunday bombings that left 24 Libyans dead in Algeria's capital, Algiers. The bombings have been attached to the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC). "(My return) made those who have been benefiting from the crisis unable to know what to do to preserve their interests. They will fail in their isolated attempt. The enemies of national reconciliation are trying to stop this process but they will not succeed," Kebir said. |
