Officials: French Citizen Kidnapped In Algeria
[Ynet] A French citizen was kidnapped by suspected Islamic snuffies while hiking in a mountainous Algerian region that is a known hideout for North Africa's al-Qaeda branch, officials said.

The kidnapping comes after the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 Death Eater group issued a call for attacks on Westerners, particularly French citizens.
On the other hand, kidnapping foreigners for ransom is a local tradition going back to the eighteenth century, if not considerably earlier, so IS's call likely has nothing to do with it.
