| Algeria is negotiating with a Chadian opposition group over the handover of a senior leader of the Salafi Group for Islamic Call and Fighting, Interior Minister Nourredine Yazid Zerhouni has revealed. "Ammar Saifi is held by a Chadian opposition group and Algerian authorities are negotiating his handover to stand trial before an Algerian court," Zerhouni told a press conference Saturday, July 17. He did not elaborate on the talks, declining further to name the group so that such a "sensitive" operation would prove a success. |
