| A tunnel used by terrorist groups discovered |
| 2006-09-28 |
| Algerian Army forces discovered Tuesday a tunnel used by terrorists. The tunnel was a kind of workshop for manufacturing bombs and stocking clothes and food supplies. The army forces got hold of the contents of the tunnel during a large scale combing of Chrea forest in the Wilaya of Bouira. The quality and significant operation was carried out on the basis of information obtained from a terrorist arrested recently. The information was about the terrorist group known as "Elhouda Squadron". The group belongs to the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, GSPC. It is still operating in the Eastern part of the Wilaya and hiding in the place called "Kaf Turda" which is situated in the borders of the Wilaya of Bordj Bouareridj, reliable sources said. The special army unit found discovered a nearly twenty-meter-tunnel of ten bunkers. The terrorists who were hiding in the place could flee before the arrival of the army unit. Resorting to helicopters was necessary for the army unit to bomb the places likely to be a refuge for the terrorists, the same sources added. |

| #5 Before you begin questionning the use of enhnaced questionning by the French remember that the FLN was bombing bus schols, impaling babies and and massacring entire villages (villages of Algerins not of French). In that case making the guy speak baout his plans and accomplices SAVES LIVES. My only reservation is that torture must not be a a method of investigation but only used against people proved guilty without any shade of doubt. Also I was born in Algeria and perhaps I owe my life to those French military who used torture. |

| #4 So, the GSPC is using the same old tactics as the FLN did during the 1950's and 1960's. Which is why the Algerian government is using the same tactics as the French did against them {FLN}: helicopter assaults, and "enhanced questioning" - generally involving vicegrip pliers and gentalia. |
