| Algeria Seeks Public Help Against Salafists |
| 2007-01-23 |
| Algeria has sought help from civilians to fight the nation's Al Qaida-aligned network. Algerian authorities have launched a campaign against the Salafist Brigade for Call and Combat. The Algerian military has called on people to provide information on Salafist operatives and strongholds. "The evolution of your country and its prosperity depend fundamentally on its stability and security, a duty for all Algerian men and women, regardless of differences in their opinion," an Algerian Army poster read. The poster campaign has taken place in villages where the Salafists were said to operate. They included areas in the mountains east of Algiers. |
