| Banned group congratulates Bouteflika |
| 2004-04-13 |
| The banned Algerian fundamentalist group, the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), yesterday congratulated President Abdelaziz Bouteflika for his resounding election win last week and urged him to see through his national reconciliation programme. "We are waiting to see if his re-election will lift all the obstacles in the way of frankly implementing the reconciliation programme," the FIS said in a statement. The FIS, which wants to create an Islamic state in Algeria, was banned there in 1992 when the group was on the verge of winning legislative elections. |

| #1 And the FIS is that peaceful, kind group that wanted to fly a plane into the Eiffel Tower in 1995--BUT Condi--"Never heard no such talk 'bout flyin' no planes into no buildings/monuments" and then her lips fell off---c'mon guys it was in Time magazine back then--and the National Security Advisor never heard about such an idea?!?!? She should be fired for lack of awareness if not misfeasance! |
