GSPC fans want them to kill Jews, Americans | |
2005-04-23 | |
Recently, on an al-Qaeda affiliated message board, several members entered into a discourse concerning the Salafi Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC). The discussion was followed by a question posted by a member of the message board stating: "Why do you not leave the mountains and go to the cities and start gang war targeting the American and Zionist interests everywhere in Algeria?"
Besides chastising those brothers for improper questioning of the mujahideen, the members affirm support of the GSPC and agree that "their home is the mountain where it is difficult for the devil to attack," while one in particular avers "there are no American or Zionist interests actually seen because they are afraid of the people and more so of the mujahideen." Responding directly to the issue of gang warfare versus classical direct warfare, one brother describes the dichotomy between the two in terms of their strategies: "The gang wars have basics like fast movement and familiarity with the circumstances, using the battle fields and the natural covers as a helping factor," while mountain fighting relies on "ambushes, raids, and cutting supply lines." However, he maintains that both strive to crush "the enemy after he is tired and paralyzed." Further, the member states: "The Algerian situation today looks very similar to jihad in Chechnya, where the mujahideen concentrated at one time on city wars in Grozny, Shali, and Vedeno, but Another member believes that "[t]he media plays a good part to minimize the operation of the Salafi Group [GSPC] in spite there are many
" and urges the group to report on their news. | |
