The Algerian courts that tried these young for terrorism do not have the bravery to try those who are behind the induction of our youth into this erroneous path, particularly the cannibalistic ex-Harki and son of a Harki assassin who is responsible for, first, the late Boudiaf, second, his wife, who was said to have committed suicide with eight bullets ? and, third, the hijacking of the French Airbus thanks to four Kalachnikov’s being carried on by the official bag-loaders at the Algiers’ airport. Benflis, the son of a Harki and head of the government, ordered the transfer of state funds into Khalifa Bank, for which he rents F4 office spaces in Batna amounting to five million dinars a month.
