2006-08-27 |
![]() The security services kept its activity in the eastern suburbs of Algiers under surveillance, according to information given by an ex-terrorist, who was accompanying Ighyl when he was trapped together with another armed element where a violent confrontation with the armed forces took place, and ended up with Abdefatteh death and his friendÂ’s evacuation to the hospital where he is in a coma, after being seriously wounded. According to the same sources, Sofiane is among the prominent figures in Ben Zerga squad acting under the commandment of el Fath brigade organisationally affiliated to the second region of the structure of the GSPC (Salafist group for preaching and combat). In a relevant context, the security services got into Abdelfattah and his companion house situated in Borj el Bahri, in the same day, and found out hidden weapons and munitions. The sources reported that the information given by the repentant element allowed the arrest of many people who supplied the explosions network regularly with support and assistance, and insisted on underscoring that the bombing of public places is a GSPCÂ’s message of refusal to the reconciliation charter who excludes the explosions involved terrorists from its provisions. However, the sources consider Abdelfattah killing as a link in the chain of GSPCÂ’s heads elimination process, after the pressure they put on the soldiers to undermine their positive response to the reconciliation procedures. |
