Kidnappings part of terror recruitment strategy, Algerian security finds
10/10/2008
Algerian security services are investigating the '"sudden wealth" of families of newly-recruited terrorists and how some were able to acquire "lavish property" in the provinces of Tizi Ouzou and Boumerdes, Echorouk reported on Thursday (October 9th). Terrorists are reportedly luring young recruits by giving parents money obtained from kidnappings and racketeering. Some repentant terrorists have acknowledged that to escape unemployment and insecurity, they joined terror groups which promised to provide for their families, the article adds. In related news, Doukhan Farid, who joined terrorist groups 15 year ago, surrendered to authorities in Jilel, local press reported. Another terrorist laid down arms in Ziama Mansouriah, west of Jijel.

Uh oh! Is this terrorist strategising or the Algerian state’s petty tactics? It is shameful to talk about the strategies of these bastards who are already locked in prison. Benflis tribe in Batna is supported by Nezzar and Touati, a strategy they use to use fake roadblocks on the people for racketeering.
