Suicide attack by 13-year-old foiled in eastern Algeria
2009-08-27
[Maghrebia] Algerian security services thwarted al-Qaeda plans for a 13-year-old boy to perpetrate a suicide attack in Skikda during Ramadan, L'Expression reported on Wednesday (August 26th). The child, Abou El Miaâd, reportedly assumed his father's name in 2005 when the senior El Miaâd -- an al-Qaeda regional emir - was killed during Ramadan in a Skikda clash. After his mother and siblings surrendered to authorities in 2006 to benefit from National Reconciliation, the boy was reportedly taken by al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb leader Abdelmalek Droukdel to be raised by other armed fighters.
