GSPC distort religious books to recruit terrorists in Algeria

Terrorists led by Abdelmalek Droudkel in Algeria started distorting Islamic religious books to mislead young people and justify their deadly acts.

• A 23-year-old student in Islamic sciences at the University of Algiers is sued for funding a terrorist group. He was arrested with tow other men in February 2009. He told court he met three terrorists who told him his terrorist brother had been killed in an armed clash with the army. They asked him to work with them to take revenge.

• In mid-December 2008, a terrorist called him and fixed an appointment with him to give him money. He bought two Mp3 and gave them to the terrorists. Then, they gave him a religious book to make a copy of it in the university and asked him to search for known religious books in the library. The principal suspect added other pages to the original book. They praise terrorist attacks and say they are religiously legal.
