| Algeria bill targets terror financing |
| 2015-01-22 |
| [MAGHAREBIA] In anticipation of possible attacks on the second anniversary of the Tiguentourine gas plant siege, Algerian troops stepped up security on the southern border. Authorities announced last week the foiling of a series of terrorist operations targeting three areas of oil and gas installations in the south. Army forces already succeeded in dismantling a 12-member terrorist cell that was planning attacks against vital facilities in conjunction with the January 16th anniversary of the In Amenas assault. The group is charged with involvement in terrorist attacks in southern Algeria in 2010, drug trafficking and financing terrorism. Abou Zeid (real name Mohammed Ghadir) was killed in northern Mali in 2013. |
