Algeria suicide bombers took anti-stress medicines

Many suicide bombers affiliated to the so-called the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) led by Abdelmalek Droudkel nicknamed Abu Musab Abdelouadoud took anti-stress medicines without their knowledge, expert in gesture analysis said.

• In a TV program on Al-Arabiya channel Doctor Moubarek Al Achkar analysed the GSPC’s latest video tape which showed terrorists preparing suicide bombings.
•  
• Abu Sadjida al Assimi, weak and naïve suicide bomber
•  
• The expert said most of the suicide bombers took those medicines during military trainings to treat depression. “They are not available in chemist’s but they are smuggled to terrorist strongholds.”
• Speaking about Abu Sadjida Al Assimi who targeted coast guards in eastern Algiers, Doctor Al Achkar said his personality was weak as his forehead was very broad.
• “But I noticed that Abu Sadjida who was seen preparing the car bomb in the video tape did not take those medicines.”
• “He may have taken them when he was carrying out the suicide attack,” he added.
•  
•  
• Abu Otmane cried when reading his will
•  
• The expert compared between two scenes which showed the oldest suicide bomber Abu Otmane who blew himself up at the UN agency in Algiers. “He seemed touched and shed tears when he was speaking to his family but he changed in the second scene when he was driving the car, minutes before carrying out the attack.”
