Algeria hit by surge in guerrilla violence

[Al-khiyal]

Number of bomb hoaxes increases

i always see on tv american and israeli jets which fire missiles using these cameras and u can see the people running like ants, why doesnt algeria send its russian jets up there and do the same, 4 billion worth of weapons could atleast be used for something positive cos i dont think we'll get in a war with any other country in the forseeable future.

You've got a point there and I wouldn't be surprised if this happen in the very near future! ...we need to get rid of them terrorists FOREVER!

[liberte]

Yes but how?

Reading Al Khiyal's post about bomb scares, did anyone hear of bombs going off in Alger recently, or is it a rumour?

[phylay]

The Army is already using helicopters and other means more suited to fight terrorists than Mig-29s

There've been many bomb blasts recently in cities around Algiers, some in beaches etc but I didn't hear of any in the city itself.

Now Boutef seems to face pressures from many parts to postpone the amnesty deadline... Hope he won't

Thanks Phylay. It's so sad. I heard there was talk about bringing in curfews again.

I don't understand why they were released in the first place. Presumably most of them are out now anyway?

[phylay]

I am not sure it is the released ones who are committing these acts
You know there've always been ppl who never surrendered and I believe they are the authors of all the attacks. Of course some of the relased ones may have joined them...

Could be. Whoever they are, it's awful that they're making people miserable again.
