Security services are reportedly concerned about possible attacks in Tunisia on September 11th. The alert followed the recent discovery of a letter from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) chief Abdelmalik Droukdel ... aka Abdel Wadoud, was a regional leader of the GSPC for several years before becoming the group's supremo in 2004 following the death of then-leader Nabil Sahraoui.

In September 2006 it was announced that the GSPC had joined forces with al-Qaeda and in January 2007 the group officially changed its name to the Al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb.... , who called for attacks on Tunisian cities to reduce pressure on the jihadists holed up in Jebel Chaambi. |
