Algeria calls on citizens to join fight against terrorism

2008-08-26

The Algerian government held a press conference Monday (August 25th) to exhort citizens to join in the fight against terrorism, Tout sur l'Algerie reported. "The victory over terrorism…will be hastened by mobilising everyone in a strong national front against the terrorist scourge which is alien to our values and spares nobody," said government spokesman Abderrachid Boukerzaza, adding that the perpetrators of the latest attacks "are criminals in the pay of foreign terrorist organizations". He told reporters that the vigilance "of every citizen, wherever they are" constitutes a valuable weapon to help the country's security services defeat the terrorist menace.
