Algerian Sellers of Mobile Phones and Chips Help Fund Terrorists
2010-08-19
[Ennahar] The public prosecutor at the court of Bir Mourad Rais, in algiers, has ordered during last week the remand of thirteen people accused of funding and giving assistance and aid to terrorist groups.

According to judicial sources, the accused, in detention for two months, have been heard three times while waiting to be interrogated again.

These are seven owners of pay phones, shops selling mobile phone chips in the regions of Beni Amrane, Bouzegza amal, Lekata Zemouri, Sahel Boubrak and Dellès. The other defendants are from Boumerdes region and its surroundings.

The facts, according to our sources, back to the years 2007, 2009, following a thorough investigation after several serious terrorist operations, in the regions mentioned above. Those involved have been tried at the last criminal session and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

The operations were made using chips purchased from these shops or led by the owners themselves. These have enabled chips while using false identities, according to the confessions of the owner of a pay phone in the village of Lekata during his first hearing. He said he was threatened by the buyer who involved with terrorist groups. He would have given 13 chips and could not denounce for fear of reprisals.
