Some 200 Algerian volunteers for jihad in Iraq out of 1550 foreigners were detained by Syria in 2006. Other 120 Algerians were arrested in Algeria after discovering that they were working in the so-called “Iraqi network”, said the same source. According to the report, Algerians are ranked third in terms of volunteers for jihad in Iraq. Western intelligence agencies say foreign volunteers from North Africa represent 25 percent of each 1000 foreign volunteer fighters in Iraq. In Algeria, four people working in the so-called “Iraqi network” were arrested in June. |
