[Ennahar] Security services have managed to arrest in late 2010, two gun-hung tough guys from the province of corpse-littered Boumerdes. This is a camel breeder and a welder; five others are still on the lam, belonging to the phalanx "Katibet el Moulathamine", activating in the south. Ammunition and fuel were recovered, as well as food products. According to informed sources, security services continue the search after the discovery of a support cell to the Salafi groups with ties with the same terrorist group headed by Khaled Abul Abbas, aka Mokhtar Belmokhtar, also known by the nickname of "Laouar". The terrorist group actives in southern Algeria where the first terrorist was nabbed; two vehicles used to transport gun-hung tough guys were also seized. The case dates back to 2004 during an investigation into the smuggling of foreign cigarettes in the region of Tamanrasset between smugglers and terrorists, but differences emerged when the last transaction involving two trucks cigarette smuggling and terrorists. A Nigeria terrorist runaway is suspected by the group that planned to kidnap him. The latter was nabbed by the security services, and was in a penitentiary. The aim of the terrorist kidnapping was to ask for a ransom of 240 million centimes from the brother of the latter for not paying two truckloads of cigarettes. The terrorist was taken to the desert of Nigeria where he spent four months and the amount of the ransom was raised to 7 billion centimes. The kidnappers have threatened the family of the hostage to kill him in case of non payment of goods. According to other sources, the nabbed gun-hung tough guys are linked to terrorist attacks that occurred at the airport in Djanet. |
