Internal disobedience threatens GSPC
The so-called Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) is living its last days and is declining. That shows the improvement of security situation in the country as Ramadan 2010 was the safest month in Algeria, Echorouk has learnt.
- Security experts say terrorist groups failed to carry out any attack during Ramadan as markets, mosques and amusement parks are crowded in this month.
- They also believe that Ramadan 2010 was the safest month in Algeria as security forces were mobilised to face any possible terrorist attack. A set of factors caused an unannounced insurgency among the remnants of the terrorist group. Because of that, terrorist leaders are only thinking about how to convince terrorists by staying in mountains even in truce. That prevents any terrorist attack.
- According to the same sources, the decision of the eminent Salafist theorists about the illegitimacy of the armed activities had an impact on terrorists’ attacks in Algeria. Of them, there are: Abdelmenaam Mustapha Abu Halima, Abu Mohamed Al Makdissi and Abdelkader Ben Abdelaziz. They are one of the eminent jihad theorists in the world along with the GSPC’s founder Hassan Hattab and a group of armed organisation leaders. They call for joining the endeavour of Peace and the National Reconciliation. It was blessed by a number of scholars and preachers in the Arab and Muslim World.
- Repentant terrorists say the GSPC is suffering from an interne crisis following snitching phenomenon in the terrorist group.
