More than 20 Tunisians join al-Qaeda in Algeria
2007-11-30
Twenty-four Tunisians have recently entered Algeria to join al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb, Ech Chourouk quoted Tunisian judicial sources as saying on Thursday (November 29th). Documents discovered during the dismantling of a terrorist network in Tunisia revealed that the terrorists planned to undergo weapons and explosives training in al-Qaeda's Algerian camps.
On Monday, a Tunisian court sentenced nine convicted members of a local Salafist terror organisation to up to 12 years in prison.
In related news, Algerian citizen Mustafa Labsi, who is allegedly linked to al-Qaeda and has been charged with planning a number of terrorist attacks in Slovakia, will be extradited to Algeria, a regional court in Bratislava decided on Friday. Labsi, who was arrested by Slovak police on May 3rd during an illegal attempt to cross the border into Austria, said he will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court. "The extradition is backed by a bilateral agreement on legal assistance between the former Czechoslovakia and Algeria," Slovak judges said.

Violence (terrorism) is evidence of a weakness or rather a sickness in the brains of asses. If they had constructive ideas to build a balanced society, let them bring their proposals in many seminars audio-visual fields. Given their increased hatred against the ruling regimes, they aren’t happy with their security and the stability of the civilians, so they choose to shake the regime of government without showing any method of managing the people. Their only choice is violence. So how can this nation trust the good governance of their affairs? We, as Muslims, are in no need of these apostasies of this world and the afterworld. So you have no control over us, you’re not our rulers, so stop marketing the Qur'an and Islam with the tongue of the weakest in our nations.

O leaders of Arab media! Shame on you to deal with the events that took place in Algeria in the way you did on Al Jazeera. We were disappointed in you, because you simply want the country of martyrs to be drowned in a sea of blood. You're serving no one but your 'compassionate' mother, America. Thanks a lot for this hatred, O you who have gained fame at the expense of Algerians' blood!
