A cell in Syria and Lebanon trains Algerians for fighting in the GSPC
2007-07-03
Counter terrorism section in the General Directorate for National Safety DGSN arrested later in June 4 people activating in the so-called “the Iraqi network”. The operations have been led successfully thanks to wiretapping of calls those people used to make with Algerians, Syrians and Lebanese in charge of the recruitment of combatants to be dedicated to Jihad fronts in Iraq or in the Algerian Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat fiefdoms.
I thought GSPC merged with alQ and became "alQ in the Land of the Sand Dunes" or somethin'...
Well informed sources mentioned that 4 persons, whose ages vary between 25 and 30, originated from the southern suburb of Algiers; two among them have been arrested in Houari Boumedien international airport by east of Algiers judiciary police services. The cross-examination revealed that the arrested have been influenced by subversive CDs pushing young people to join the Iraqi resistance. The two arrested affirmed that they were to reach Syria so as to meet two other people. Thanks to their disclosures, the two other members of the network have also been arrested; they all are in al Harrach prison before being tried.

According to the same sources, DGSN counter terrorism section discovered, thanks to wiretapping operations that Syrian nationals and a Lebanese living in Beirut were in charge of the reception of volunteer Jihadists to be trained for combat and explosive techniques before to be sent to Iraq or to the Algerian GSPC fiefdoms.
