NEFA Foundation: AQIM Claims Suicide Bombing East of Algiers
By Evan Kohlmann
The NEFA Foundation has obtained and translated the latest communiqué issued by "the Al-Qaida Network in the Islamic Maghreb" (formerly known as the Salafist Group for Prayer and Combat, GSPC) claiming responsibility for yesterday's suicide bombing attack on a police station in An-Naciriya, approximately 75 miles east of Algiers. According to the statement, "a lion from Al-Qaida's Network in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the martyr Abdullah al-Chayani, set forth on his mission carrying no less than 500kg of explosives aiming to attack the apostate den working against the jihad... O’ you, those who have abandoned our religion and your masters: you should expect the arrival of groups of those who long for martyrdom, and they will greet you with the scent of death.”
A copy of the communique can be downloaded from the NEFA Foundation website c/o NEFA's TerrorWatch subscription service.
