| Summary |
The GSPC, one of the most notorious terrorist groups in North Africa, has aligned with Al-Qa'ida and changed its name to "The Organization of al-Qa'ida in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb." On April 10, 2007, the new organization claimed credit for two suicide car bomb attacks in Algiers that killed 23 people. Some observers have speculated that North Africa may be the next safe-haven for al-Qa'ida, and that European countries may face a greater risk of attack if Algerian terrorist groups expand their base of support in Europe. The alignment of the GSPC with al-Qa'ida represents a significant change in the group's strategy, however, its decision to join al-Qa'ida's global jihad should be understood as an act of desperation |
