Some leftwing kook (some British Arab author) has Algeria deeply in the terror mix, something about a thwarted attack on France that the French covered up, anyone have any info?
And before anyone gets after me for listening to left wing kooks I'll say this, sometimes they know a fact or two, it's just their conclusions are always wrong.
Does the GIA target Americans?
The GIA has not targeted Americans in Algeria. But some Algerian terrorists who have tried to attack the United States may be linked to the GIA. In December 1999, Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian living in Montreal, was arrested at the U.S.-Canadian border with a carload of explosives; he was later convicted of plotting a millennium-eve attack on Los Angeles International Airport. Ressam has since led authorities to alleged co-conspirators in Canada and the United States.
