ALGERIA: AL-QAEDA SHOWS VIDEOTAPED PREPARATIONS FOR ATTACKS <javascript:aumenta();> <javascript:diminuisci();> Algiers, 9 May (AKI) - The Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb showed for the first time preparations for the deadly 11 April suicide attacks in Algiers in a video broadcast in exclusive by Arabic satellite television Al Jazeera Wednesday. The video shows how Algerian militants prepared the bombs which were placed in three cars that later targeted the interior ministry building and a police station in the Algerian capital, killing 30. The footage also shows the faces of the suicide bombers before they leave to carry out the attacks, the attackers' statements and a brief speech by the organisation's leader Abu Musab Abdel Wudud calling on Muslims to fight the west. Wudud promises other attacks in his statement stressing that his group - previously known as Salafite Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) before it pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda last year - has chosen to strike with suicide bombers as a strategy. "There are would-be martyrs ready to blow themselves up," he says. The video ends showing images of a group of militants training in a desert area, presumably in Algeria. The Algiers 11 April bombings, the first in the capital's centre in over ten years, are believed to be the country's first suicide attacks and were claimed by the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb. Algeria was wracked by a brutal civil war in the 1990s in which an estimated 200,000 people died. The GSPC, which pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda last September and changed its name in January, is the only militant group to have remained active in the country after it refused to abandon the armed struggle in exchange for an amnesty in August.
