2008-08-23
Al-Qaeda organization in North Africa has indicated in an audio statement posted on a website, that for the first time the recent suicide attack has been conducted last Wednesday by a Mauritanian terrorist, while a security source indicated that the suicide boomer, who committed an attack against the centre of Coats Guards at Zemouri in Boumeedes central province, is originating from Lamontagne locality southern Algiers.

In this regard, Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the recent 4 attacks, adding that the attacks occuring at Zemouri, Issers, and Bouira, are in retaliation to the killing of 12 of its elements in an ambush at Beni Douala region in Tizi Ouzou, last August, 6th. Al-Qaeda has qualified these attacks, which have been masterminded by Al-Qaeda leader namely Abdelmalek Droudkel, as "retaliation." The audio statement added that the campaign revenged the 12 terrorists killed by Army troops, and ended last Wednesday, following the twin suicide bombings in which 12 have been killed, and 42 injured.

The same statement added that the car of the 12 terrorists killed in Beni Douala in Tizi Ouzou, has been bobby-trapped, while official sources have indicated that they have been boomed by a helicopter.

Meanwhile, Al-Qaeda has justified the attack against the bus transporting the workers of the Canadian company, SNC-Lavalin, by the presence of the Canadian troops in Afghanistan. No Canadian has been killed in this attack, which has been conducted by a terrorist nicknamed Abderahmane Abou Zaineb Al-Mauritani.

It is noteworthy that Al-Qaeda in North Africa, resorts to foreigners to commit its odious attacks, this is to confirm the declaration of Droudkel, in an interview with the U.S newspaper, the New York Times. In which Droudkel said that his terrorist organization includes terrorists hailing from different nationalities, including Mauritanians.

According to the same audio statement, the attack carried out against the headquarters of the Army operational sector in Bouira, has been perpetuated by a terrorist nicknamed Abou Baker El Assimi, while the suicide boomer hitting the Coasts Guards at Zemouri, nicknamed Mohamed Abou Sadjeda El Assimi. The suicide boomer behind the attack rocking the National Gendarmerie academy at Issers near Boumerdes, has not been mentioned in this statement.
