Paris - A radical Algerian Islamist group linked to the al-Qaeda terror
network announced on Tuesday the death of its spiritual guide in a recent
clash with the Algerian army east of the capital, Algiers.
The Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat said in a statement on its
Internet page that Sheikh Ahmed Abu al-Baraa was killed in a confrontation
with the Algerian army on January 17.
"The GSPC announces the death of Sheikh Ahmed Abu al-Baraa as a martyr on 17
Zhu al-Hijja (January 17) during violent clashes between the mujahedeen
(fighters) and the Algerian army in the mountains near the city of Tudja,"
east of Algiers, it said.
Abu al-Baraa, whose real name was Ahmed Zarabib, was born in 1963 in Budadu,
in the Bumerdes governorate.
He was the imam in Budadu before joining the insurgents, an act that led him
to prison for several years, the statement said.
Considered as one of the founders of the GSPC, he headed the its judicial
commission for several years.
On January 19, Algerian newspapers reported that three people had been
killed during clashes between the army and armed Islamists two days earlier.
The GSPC, which maintains close links with al-Qaeda, was created in 1998 by
dissidents from the Armed Islamic Group (GIA).

if the purposes of display include "criticism, comment, news reporting,

for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies
as a "fair use". A work used does not necessarily have to satisfy all four
criteria to qualify as an instance of "fair use". Rather, "fair use" is
determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not
substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality. If you wish to use
