Security services of Guelma (eastern Algeria), recently arrested a cell which is suspected of being specialized in praising terrorist acts and supporting the organization of Islamic State “Daesh”.
Terrorist cell that is composed of 12 people, was arrested over the past few days, across a number of municipalities in the city, including two youth, who come from Deraan area in El Tarf city (eastern Algeria), in addition to 10 other people, who descended from different municipalities of Guelma territory, as investigations and interrogations with them are still underway confidentially.
Same sources did not rule out the idea that members of the cell are active across a number of eastern cities, and have close relationships with recruiting Djihadists within the ranks of Daesh, and help qualified to fight in Syria and Iraq through Turkey, especially as the inquiries and investigations that were initiated by security services since two months ago, proved that two youth joined the organization of Islamic state, and that one of them is currently present in the battlefield in Iraq, while the fate of the second suspect is still unknown after interruption of contact with him since he traveled to Turkey.
