TERRORISM: AL QAEDA IN MAGHREB ENROLS BLACK AFRICANS

(ANSAmed) - TUNIS - Al Qaeda in Maghreb, managed, despite itself, in the ''miracle'' of driving the Sahel countries (Algeria, Mauritania, Mali e Niger) to unify their anti-terrorism units,

reacted to the first defeats and played its wild card represented by the 

African black people, setting up a new and in certain ways revolutionary, because of its composition, ''phalange'' that could be placed under the direct command of Abdelhamid Zeid, another one of the ''emirs of terror'', second in the area only to Algerian Abdelmalek Droukdel, who already led the Salafite group for preaching and fighting, later turned into Al Qaeda in Maghreb (Aqim). The decision to set up this new group, perfectly organic to Al Qaeda in Maghreb, was taken during a meeting between leaders that took place in the Mali desert under the personal direction of Zeid (who was believed to have died during a pitched battle 

against Mali's army in recent weeks), which is now being talked about by websites traditionally close to the terroristic universe.

The new group will be made up of a few hundred jihad fighters coming from Mali, Nigeria, Chad, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Senegal and will be called ''Beyt el Ansar'', the same name coined by Osama bin Laden 25 years ago for a group of Arab militiamen making their way back from Afghanistan. And the terrorist cell should also follow bin Laden's tactics and strategies, while probably acting with great independence, with the role of ''sweeper'' in Aqim's broader action. Read the rest on:
