#1 Didn't Hattab split away from the GIA because he opposed their senseless masacres of civilians?

#2 That's what he claims.

However, the GSPC was very much formed at the behest of bin Laden and the rest of International Front due to the fact that Zouabri and Co were having too much fun dispensing their revolutionary Islamist brand of justice and not enough fighting the Algerian military government. Certainly the GIA trademarks like throat slitting, decapitation, and dismemberment are also used by the GSPC on a regular basis - if you're truly in the mood for some macabre viewing you can download clips of their antics off of numerous jihadi websites.

#3 The title is false. There was an article on Rantburg yesterday talking about how the US was working with the Algerian government to stomp the GSPC. That's an indication to me the US is on the ball, and doing its bit to put these nutjobs on ice.
