2007-04-29 |
El Oued security services arrested last weak 8 persons and closed down a cyber space and a library which have been suspected of the recruitment of young people to fight in Iraq or to activate within Algerian terrorist networks. Concordant sources mentioned that the network members are responsible for the recruitment of the regionÂ’s young people namely the three university students who disappeared earlier last week. The same sources indicated that the missing families notified the authorities and disclosed places where theyÂ’ve been accustomed to be namely the above mentioned cyber space and a library in El Oued city centre. The sources further noted that the arrested whose ages range from 24 and 28 are still under investigations, among them an English language university teacher who is the very owner of the cyber space and the others are students and jobless. The same sources mentioned that computers in the cyber space have been confiscated to be inquired with, as some multimedia documents have been found especially after the cyber owner recognized that he recruited young persons. The dismantling of the network is likely to reveal who recruitment cells have penetrated in university milieus. |
