| GIA's leader's plan for Algeria... |
| 2002-04-27 |
| The GIA's new national emir, Rachid Abou Tourab, said in a statement shortly after his appointment that he would pursue the movement's radical policies until Algeria was an Islamic state. There would, he said, be "neither truce, nor dialogue, nor reconciliation, nor security, but blood, blood, destruction, destruction." The GIA says any Algerian not following its position is an infidel and an apostate. The GIA has stepped up its attacks since appointing a new leader late last month following the death at the hands of the security forces on February 8 of longtime leader Antar Zouabri. Next time the Frenchies sniff at Bush's simplisme, think about how many Algerians there are in France. And laugh. |
