Death penalty against ex-GIA member
2007-11-09
The representative of the general prosecutor for AlgiersÂ’ court has sought death penalty against Houssein Koubi, alias The Blind, who led security services to dismantle the nucleus of the Islamic Armed Group GIA in 2002.
That doesn't sound like the height of gratitude...
Algiers criminal court has re-opened yesterday the dossier of The Blind, which was postponed last March under a request submitted by the defence which required summoning some witnesses who were released.

Moreover, 10 defendants, indicted with bombing a public places, killing, rape and fraud-related charges, have been heard. The representatives of the general prosecutor sought the death penalty against Houssein Koubi, 6 months sentence against 6 elements in the dismantled nucleus and life in prison against three others, while the court is to pronounce more verdicts today.
