Tibhirine’s monks were abducted by the Islamic Armed Group (GIA)
Tibhrine monks
The terrorist group who kidnapped the seven monks of “Tibhirine†sent a tape to the French authorities as a proof that the victims were effectively abducted, to use them as a money exchange against a number of terrorists arrested by the French security forces. The terrorist vowed to kill the monks if their comrades were not set free.
