US embassy cable - 05ALGIERS1942

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: NEW GSPC COMMUNIQUE WARNS OF FAKES 
 
 
1. (U) The Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) 
issued a statement September 10 warning against faked 
communiques issued by Abu Turab al-Jaza'iri in the name of 
the GSPC.  The communique said al-Jaza'iri has no direct or 
indirect connection to the GSPC and that his communiques are 
not official GSPC statements. 
 
COMMENT 
------- 
 
2. (SBU) In July, Al-Jaza'iri issued a statement, in the name 
of the GSPC, praising Al-Qaeda's killing of two Algerian 
diplomats in Iraq.  Algerians viewed the killings as a 
national tragedy, and GSPC's statement served to further 
undermine the already-limited public sympathy the group 
enjoys. The September 10 statement is indicative of 
factionalism with the GSPC as well as of a split within the 
GSPC over the group's earlier support for the killings.
