DAR AL ISLAM-ALGERIA: ATTACK THE FRENCH INFIDELS ! ! !

Islamist group urges Algerians to target French

An Islamist group linked to Al-Qaeda has called for Algerians to carry out attacks on French nationals, in a message posted on the Internet.

"Fight the nationals of France and the agents of the Crusaders occupying our land," said Abu Mussab Abdel Wadoud, leader of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC).

"Our fathers and our ancestors fought against the French Crusaders who were driven out in humiliation," the GSPC chief said in the message dated January 3 that appeared on Islamist websites.

French intelligence services have said that the armed Islamist group poses the "number one terrorist threat" against France.

In an extract published Saturday in the daily al-Khabar, the head of the group said he had rejected a reconciliation offer renewed by Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, saying that he was waiting for "guidelines" from Al-Qaeda "for the next step."

"France which left through the door ... is coming back today through the window" in Algeria, Abdel Wadoud said.

"America is also coming back through the door to share with France the spoils of our riches and control of our destiny, with the complicity of the thief of the house, Bouteflika," he charged.

He accused the president of "fighting against Islam under the banner of the leading heretic, the United States, and forging ties of friendship with the enemy of yesterday, France".
