Guillotines add a barbaric touch to Algeria's bloodbath

Article Abstract:

Levels of violence in Algeria's civil war have reached new highs recently. A particularly worrying development has been the use of a makeshift guillotine by the Islamic Armed Group. The latest atrocities have shocked even Iran and the Lebanese Hizbollah, both of which have traditionally supported the Islamists' fight against the Algerian government. Life has become extremely difficult for ordinary Algerians, but the government seems to be taking very little action against the increasingly violent attacks.

Reign of terror mocks democratic charade

Article Abstract:

Islamic fundamentalists are creating a climate of extreme fear in Algeria, particularly in Algiers, the capital. Up to 200 people a week are being killed by fundamentalists and by government security troops. The situation is becoming even more tense as preparations are made for a forthcoming constitutional referendum. The police have already taken up positions in schools in order to prevent the Islamic Armed Group from attacking polling stations.
