Alger la Blanche: Takfiri Nihilism & Murder
The takfiri nihilists, mutaslimine, have struck again in Algiers, I was just in those neighbourhoods on business a day or so ago, and at present can only hope my dear Algerian friends were not by chance caught in this bestial bloody mindedness. (English reporting here).
The report indicates that the nihilists of "Al Qaeda in the Maghreb" claimed responsibility this evening.
(Ce double attentat suicide a été revendiqué sur un site internet islamiste par Al Qaïda au Maghreb islamique, l'ex-Groupe salafiste pour la prédication et le combat (GSPC).)
Sadly these scum make the Algerian government look preferable, which is a real achievement in a negative sense.

"Sadly these scum make the Algerian government look preferable, which is a real achievement in a negative sense": Indeed, and contrary to the GIA, who slaughtered civilians and frontline soldiers, Al Qaïda/GSPC strike at the heart of the capital and of the political system, thus dispelling the insistent question "qui-tue-qui" (who kills who?) - as many know by now, a sizeable proportion of the violence attributed to Algerian islamists can in fact be directly or indirectly attributed to the SM/DRS (sécurité militaire), the real deus ex machina in today's Algeria. In the case of Al Qaïda, that question is moot.
