GSPC in Algeria Details Recent Cross-Border Terror Attack in MauritaniaBy Evan Kohlmann
The Algerian Salafist Group for Prayer and Combat (GSPC)--a North African militant faction affiliated with Al-Qaida--has released the third edition of its official magazine, including further details about last month's cross-border terror attack on an army post manned by soldiers from Mauritania. According to a statement published in the magazine, the attack involved at least one Algerian extremist who had previously fought in Afghanistan with Al-Qaida and was carried out in order to "erase a number of myths, beginning with the myth of reconciliation and general amnesty and ending with the myth of desperate remnants or a small group that is about to be eliminated."
