| Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb Threatens to Strike Western Targets in Algeria, North Africa |
| 2008-11-06 |
| On November 4, 2008, Islamist forums posted a 39-minute video produced by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, titled "War of Bombs and Landmines." The video features mainly images of past attacks against Algerian security forces, as well as images allegedly reflecting the economic situation in some North African countries; it includes very little by way of substantial claims and threats. The video addresses two main themes: the West's growing involvement in North Africa, and what is described as "the government's policy of starving its citizens." The video ends with a threat to strike Western interests in North Africa, particularly in Algeria. |
