“I was obliged to join the Salafist Group after the series of arrests by the Algerian forces against suspects in relation with Algiers suicide bombings in April 2007. I admit that I was active in the battalion of support and assignment “Al Arkam”s and the truck and car which were used in the suicide bombings were mine. I confirm that the terrorist who implemented a suicide bombing ignored the purpose behind that and he thought he will gain confidence of the terrorists in order to join them later on, but he escaped after few months in the mountain, because he discovered the real difficult situation there. The Planning of terrorist attacks, including the Mercedes to blow up the house of the general director of the national security remain a secret among the leaders,” the accused said.
