“Al-Qaeda and Algeria’s GSPC: Part of a Much Bigger Picture”

By Michael Scheuer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The decision of the leaders of Algeria’s Salafist Group for Call and Combat (GSPC) to pledge allegiance to Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda has been well-covered.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “As evidence of bin Laden’s success in this regard—and this refers to inspirational and instigating successes that seldom confer command-and-control on al-Qaeda—media reporting since January 2005 shows that nearly 40 organizations have announced their formation and pledged allegiance to bin Laden, al-Qaeda and their strategic objectives. Although not controlled by al-Qaeda, they may have received some logistical, training or financial assistance from al-Qaeda in their formation. A non-scientific and non-exhaustive sampling of the groups reported in the media follows:

- Martyr Marwan Hadid Cell, Al-Qaeda in Syria (Syria)
- The Islamic Revenge Cells (Iraq)
- Brigades of Kurdistan (Iraq)
- Ansar al-Qaeda (Saudi Arabia)
- Al-Qaeda in Bilad al-Sham (Syria)
- Al-Qaeda Organization in the Levant-Umar Brigade-Lebanon Province (Lebanon)
- The Islamic al-Tawhid Group, al-Qaeda Organization (Europe)
- Al-Qaeda Organization in Afghanistan (Afghanistan)
- Abu-Bakr al-Siddiq Brigade, al-Qaeda Organization (Europe)
- Al-Quds Islamic Army (Palestine)
- Al-Qaeda Organization in Lebanon (Lebanon)
- Al-Qaeda in Levant and Egypt-Abdallah Azzam Brigades (Egypt)
- Qaedat-al-Jihad in Yemen, Liwa al-Tawid (Yemen)
- Black Leopards-al-Qaeda Military Faction in Lebanon (Lebanon)
- Brigade of Martyr Nasir Bin-Rashid al-Rashid (Europe)
- Saudi Brigades of Sada Tuwayq in al-Zufi (Saudi Arabia)
- Squadron of the Martyr Abu Annas al-Shami (Saudi Arabia)
- Kata’ib al-Shahid Hammudi al-Masri, al-Qaeda Organization South and East Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan, Far East)
- Allah’s Brigade (Palestine)
- Secret Organization Group of al-Qaeda of Jihad in Europe (Europe)
- Abu-ali al-Harithi Brigades (Yemen)
- Al-Qaeda Maghreb Commandment (Morocco)
- Al-Qaeda Organization in the Island of the Arabs (Saudi Arabia)”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Third, the list above appears to reflect bin Laden’s success in using Iraq as contiguous territory from which to reach into the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula and even Europe. Historically, al-Qaeda does not expend effort, funds and manpower in regions that do not afford it contiguous safe haven from which to operate; this consideration kept the group from making a major effort in the Balkans, and to date has made it unable to hit the Israelis at home. Yet of the 24 groups listed above, 16 are located in places that al-Qaeda believed new safe havens in Iraq would provide it opportunities for expansion: Egypt (1); Europe (4); Palestine (2); Lebanon (3); Syria (2); and Saudi Arabia (4). Although more research needs to be completed on the idea of Iraq being an al-Qaeda base for projecting itself into adjacent countries, it seems that not all of al-Qaeda’s time has been spent fighting U.S.-led coalition forces in Iraq [7].

In conclusion, the GSPC’s decision to come under al-Qaeda’s umbrella is in itself an important story; it is a lethal and talented group that will benefit from its ties to al-Qaeda while extending the capabilities and reach of bin Laden’s fighters, especially in Europe and Canada. Yet its accession is clearly part of a bigger story which is seeing al-Qaeda’s plans for instigating Muslims to join a jihad aimed at the far enemy beginning to bear fruit, and also how those plans are being furthered by al-Qaeda’s ability to operate from bases in Iraq. As the late Sheikh Abdullah Azzam claimed when he and bin Laden worked together in the 1980s, it is the job of Islamist leaders to persuade Muslims to join “the caravan fighting in God’s way.” Bin Laden is carrying on his mentor’s work successfully.”
