Algerian authorities issued an arrest warrant for the missing 19-year old son of Islamist party leader Ali Benhadj, Ech Chourouk reported on Sunday (December 9th). Abdelkaher Ben Hadj, who disappeared suddenly one year ago, has been accused of belonging to al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb. Testimony from two recently arrested al-Qaeda members led to the charges filed by courts in Algiers and Tizi Ouzou. In a statement received by Ech Chorouk, Ali Benhadj said that since his son's disappearance, he has been unaware of his whereabouts or activities. Abdelakahar was last seen with other young Algerian and Moroccan recruits in an internet video broadcast by the terrorist group after the April 11th attacks in Algiers.Posted by: Fred 2007-12-10 |
