Al-Qaeda leader for Africa arrested with Algerian security forces, $20 million seized
This guy is probably the main link between the main leadership and the GSPC, same as that Yemeni that the Algerians killed back in 2002 who reported to KSM.Three suspected members of the Al-Qaeda terrorist network including the group's leader for Africa, were arrested last week in Algeria, a newspaper reported Monday. The Young Independent daily said Abu Billel El-Ulbani, identified as the Al-Qaeda leader for Africa, and two of his deputies were arrested by Algerian security forces. Currency worth more than â¬20-million was found in a vehicle in which the men were arrested, the report said without indicating where the men were detained. Security forces also found Al-Qaeda literature, weapons, portable computers, detonators and a UHF radio transmitter during a search operation near Beni Amrane east of Algiers, the paper reported. The report could not be immediately confirmed. Posted by: Dan Darling 2006-01-02 |
