Surrender rather than suicide ... The choice of the terrorists

In the last video of the ‘El Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb,’ under the command of Abou Mosaâb Abdelouadoud, alias Abdelmalek Droukdal, entitled (Ochak El Hour) “The lovers of Paradise women” in its second edition, this demonstrates the defeat of the terrorist organization at the level of recruitment.

The surrender of many terrorist leaders, who previously attracted new recruits into the organization, has caused an earthquake within ‘El Qaeda cells.’ new recruits refuse carry out suicide operations or move from one region to another due to the tightening of the noose around the areas where armed groups of El Qaeda live. The role played by repentant terrorists, by providing information to security services, permitted to break the ranks of the terrorist organisation. mehr...

Algerian Army sends important heavy arms to Mali
4 countries including Algeria to launch common attack against Al-Qaeda in Sahel region

Algeria, Mali, Niger and Mauritania have decided launching one of the greatest military operations targeting terrorist groups belonging to Al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb, which are spread through the borders separating between these countries, or “second Afghanistan” as nicknamed by security services.
So, the aforementioned 4 countries are preparing a military operation, while their respective intelligence services have stepped up coordination and exchanged a great number of information. “Both Mali and Niger have sent a list mentioning their logistic needs to the Algerian Army, which agreed to assist them logistically through the air coverage and the affecting of fighters to track down terrorist groups,” said a well-informed security source. Mali has received a part of this military aid, yesterday, added the same source.
Meanwhile, a high-ranking Army Officer has denied revealing the approximate date of the attack expected to hit terrorist and criminal groups. But information furnished by the supervisors of the operation, said as the 2 western hostages have been released, this large scale military operation will be launched in the near future, adding that the appropriate moments to attack the group led by the notorious terrorist named Yahia Abou Amar, is as by next June, 2009. The hot season is the most appropriate moment to conduct a surrounding, in case of the operation postponing; these countries will be obliged waiting till 2010 summer.

Terrorist groups move eastward fleeing security forces’ siege

Following the disbanding by the security forces of several terrorist networks that led to the arrest of more than 100 individuals over the last few weeks in the eastern parts of the country, it seems the terrorist organization “Salafit Group for call and combat” is shifting its operating zone towards more secure regions after being dislodged from the central regions. mehr...

Countdown to the crackdown

After the recent hostage release by the southern/Saharan wing of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), there has been much political and military movement in Algeria, Mali and the surrounding countries. According to numerous press rumors, a major joint operation in the border areas is about to go into action any day now.

The political arguments have centered around vague but barely concealed insinuations of state support for AQIM’s southern wing, although there’s precious little proof offered by anyone involved. Libya is the state most in the crosshairs, for allegedly funding or/and facilitating the payment of fat ransoms to AQIM, in a deal also involving the Malian state releasing AQIM members in return for someone’s thick wad of cash. Algeria is livid over this, and parts of the éradicateur press is so upset as to appear slightly deranged in its accusations against all and sundry for conspiring to undermine state security.

However, in fact Algeria has good reason to be upset, if one disregards the hyperbole. The government quite rightly believes that ransom payments encourages new kidnappings, and that this — not to mention the prisoners releases — is what keeps the southern AQIM networks running. Algeria also worries, again rightly, that such money will filter up to AQIM’s northern strongholds in the Kabylie, from where the group continues to inflict damage on the Algerian state and military. However, European governments do not seem to give a damn about this, as long as they can bring back their citizens safe and sound; while the poorer local governments are fine with whatever they’re paid most to be fine with, since they don’t stand a chance of securing these areas alone anyway. So the kidnapping circus continues.

Bouteflika has for some time, after offering amnesty upon amnesty, shown signs of exasperation with this whole AQIM business, and the Algerian army appears to be slowly reverting into extermination mode in its treatment of insurgent holdouts. Presently, then, the country is spearheding efforts to pull together a major pan-Saharan/Sahelian coalition to hit AQIM hard, either to cripple it militarily or to at least establish a steep deterrent cost for fucking with Algeria’s south. Among the other nations coming along for the ride, convinced by a mixture of stick and carrot from Algiers, are of course Mali, but also Niger and Mauritania, the two remaining neighbors to the area of concern. You can count on the US to cheer them on and supply whatever is available of satellite imagery and other expertise. However, it seems that Algeria is steering the bandwagon, quite in line with how it has been asserting itself as the maker-or-breaker of regional security in the last few years, and perhaps also for honestly feeling there’s nothing left to do but shoot its way out of this painful deadlock.

Militarily, things have been progressing quickly. A bunch of army units were just pulled down from the Algerian north towards the border, and high-level military coordination between the countries concerned is proceeding apace. For example, Niger’s chief-of-staff flew up to meet with the Algerian top brass (Gaid Saleh and Guenaizia), and Mali’s defense minister did the same some days ago. At the same time, Algiers has started airlifting military supplies to the Malian army in preparation for the expected assault, and minor manhunts are already running, with claims of an important kill just the other day.

How big this will be is impossible to tell: perhaps just a quick crackdown on the areas under suspicion, and brush-up of border security through reinforcements and coordination? But it seems like bigger things are in the making. In so far as the press can be trusted (a big if, admittedly), a large-scale sweep is more likely, although I guess the key to it all is not scale per se, but rather how long it will go on and what it will leave behind. In any case, one should remember that while the Touareg rebellion in Mali’s north just quieted down, the situation remains unstable and is liable to be affected in some way by any major military offensive. On the other hand, there’s no better time to go at it than now, when there’s no hot war complicating matters; and in fact, decisively settling the Touareg conflict may well be one of the unspoken motives for the push.

Also worth bearing in mind is that two European hostages remain in the hands of AQIM. It has demanded that Britain release Abu Qatada, a Jordanian-Palestinian preacher with longstanding ties to al-Qaida’s core leadership as well as to the Algerian Jihadi movements (he used to be sort of a chief Mufti for the GIA back in the day, and later encouraged the GSPC split which evolved into AQIM). That could turn into some nasty headlines.

Britain expresses fear about hostages held by Al-Qaeda in case of military attack
Algeria calls on Britain to end contacts with Al-Qaeda

The military attacks targeting Al-Qaeda groups in northern Mali, have been launched, while Britain, and Switzerland have called to postpone this operation till the release of their nationals held by Al-Qaeda in the Sahel. Though the British Intelligence Services have indicated that they managed contacting the kidnappers, Algeria is still clinging to the date of the attacks against Al-Qaeda.

According to the Algerian security services reports elaborated last April, one of the leaders of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has contacted a terrorist living in France, while the contact has focused on the release of the British and Swiss hostages.

So the contacts between Al-Qaeda and the British intelligence services have raised the anger of the Algerian authorities, which reacted by stepping up their military operations against Al-Qaeda along the borders.

A well-informed source told El Khabar that the British intelligence services are trying to convince Al-Qaeda leaders to release the hostages, but Algeria has considered such a conduct as “unacceptable”, and then reacted through the stepping up of its military operations across the southern regions.

TERRORISM: ALGERIA, GSPC FOUNDER CALLS FOR SURRENDER
Continued appeals for surrender are being launched by Hassan Hattab, founder of the Algerian Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, (GSPC, today known as Al Qaeda for the Islamic Maghreb), with an audio message being broadcast on Al Jazira satellite TV yesterday in which he calls on fighters in Islamic groups to lay down their arms. "What you are has nothing to do with Jihad. It harms Islam and partakes in the spread of fitna (discord, ed.) within the Moslem nation," Hattab said. "I call on you to follow the example of the Emir AbuTamine," the message continues, recalling the surrender of Al Qaeda Maghreb's highest official, who press reports say handed himself in to the authorities at the beginning of February. "Pay no heed to the false Fatwas that encourage you to bear arms", "be wary of false words, spread through the Internet and on CDs, which authorise you to kill Moslems," Hattab urged. On January 18, Hattab himself sent a letter to members of armed Islamic groups inviting them to surrender and thus bless the amnesty measures envisaged by the Charter for Peace and National Reconciliation. In September of 2007, Algerian authorities announced Hattab's surrender, but since then the former Emir has never appeared in public and did not appear in court for his various trials. Having been a member of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), Hattab founded the GSPC in June 1998 - it is said in a council with Osama Bin Laden - to 'clean up' GIA's bloody image.
