Algerian Armed forces foil a plan to transfer AQIM leaders to the Sahel region

Investigations that were launched by the armed forces with terrorists who were arrested on last mid-August, in the area of Ben Serror, which is administratively belonging to Msila, foiled a plan to bring the leaders of the terrorist organization “al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” to the Sahel region in two phases.

According to the information available to Echorouk, investigations showed that the terrorist organization programmed an operation of moving towards the Sahel countries in two phases, a group led by the terrorist Mousa Bourahla, nicknamed Abou Daoud, leader of the southern region of the organization, as he assigned this group to go to Tebessa (east of Algeria) in order to organize the movement and gather terrorist elements , but that did not happen because of the security deployment across the region, at a time the second group is moving under the leadership of terrorist Nassib Tayeb called Abu Ishaq, the legitimate officer of the terrorist organization who was arrested previously, to the mountains of Tebessa to support the first group.

Investigations with the detainees show that the commander of the terrorist organization Abu Mousab Abdel Wadoud, whose real name is Abdelmalek Droukdel, gave instructions for the terrorist Nabil Makhloufi, called Abou Alqama, leader of the Sahara region, and who is activ in the Sahel0, to plan and prepare for a range of attacks and terrorist operations to avenge the arrest of the head of the Judicial Committee “Abou Ishaq”, which target Algerian government officials inside and outside the country, either in Bamako or in the neighboring countries, as he also ordered Droukdel, alias” Abou Alqama ” to send the same instructions to the leaders of terrorist groups operating in the Sahel region, like Mohammed Ghadir alias Abdelhamid Abou Zeid, leader of the battalion of Tareq ibn Ziyad, and Mokhtar Belmokhtar alias Khaled Abou Abbas, leader of the Moulathamine battalion (masked men), and Malek Abou Abd al-Karim, whose real name is Ahmed Ag Imama, leader of Al Ansar sub-battalion, and Yahia Abou Alhammam, whose real name is Akasha Jamal, leader of Al Forqan sub-battalion, ‭ ‬ so as‭ ‬ Abou‭ ‬ Alqama will ‭ ‬coordinate ‭with the movement of Tawhid and ‭ ‬ Jihad in ‭ ‬ Western ‭ ‬ Africa, ‭ ‬ to help the ‭ ‬ implementation of terrorist ‭ ‬ operations ‭ ‬ ‭ ‬ in the ‭national territories‭. ‬

The special team of the Armed forces arrested on last mid-August, two terrorists in the region of Ben Serror in Msila, where they arrested two terrorists, one of them had two pistols, one of them is “Macarov” and the second made in Turkey, as investigations revealed that one of them is a foreigner called “Qaqaa,” and after questioning them they spoke about the existence of strongholds of terrorist groups in Jebel Ahmar on the borders between Biskra and Batna (east of Algeria), where 15 terrorists are active.
