Trial Of 29 Terrorists Who Recruit Convicts To Join ISIS

Algiers Dar Bida Criminal Court will open, next week, a criminal case of a dangerous terrorist cell that is consisting of 29 people who belong to the remnants of the so-called Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat in Algiers and Meftah district of Blida (western Algiers).

Members of the terrorist cell will be trialed after the case was postponed many times, due to the details of an attempt to kill cops who arrested them during the course of their criminal operations against the property of citizens. 

The terrorist cell, which was led by convicted terrorists inside the walls of the prison, exploited young people who were brought before the courts and recruited them in the process of transporting the supplies to terrorist group in the mountain of Meftah region, in Blida (western Algeria).

The dismantling of the terrorist cell, according to the file, was based on information that was gathered by the security elements about the perpetrators of repeated attacks against cops, where it managed to reach the identity of a former terrorist who was released from prison and who was working to mobilize many of the young people in his gang, in order to support the terrorist groups in the Blida Mountains, where the security services also managed to arrest the remaining defendants by monitoring their movements.

After their referral to the judicial investigation and their interrogation, it became apparent that the terrorist organization “ISIS” was behind their criminal operations against the police officers in order to prove their allegiance before joining the organization’s strongholds in Syria. 

Moreover, the services of the investigation showed that all members of the terrorist group supported the so-called, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, that is active in Balida, where they exploited commercial activities through financial revenues, or through the exploitation of shops to support terrorists, and to carry out robberies that affected the merchants’ shops in Algiers.
