 [Maghrebia] Five members of the Al-Djabel Al Ahmar brigade of al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb surrendered to Algerian authorities Tuesday night in Batna, Tout sur l'Algerie reported on Wednesday (August 12th). The repentant terrorists, aged between 28 and 47, were transferred to the command of the 5th Military Region. Their identities have not been disclosed for security reasons. The surrender was attributed to former terrorist leader and GSPC founder Hassan Hattab's efforts to persuade terrorists to renounce armed struggle and benefit from national reconciliation.Posted by: Fred 2009-08-14 |
