Algeria: car bomb cell members arrested



Algiers and Lakhdaria attacks
2 suspects in 4/11 and Lakhdaria bombings arrested
Elkhabar, Algeria - Aug 17, 2007

Security services arrested 20 days ago two people suspected of participating in the planning and the execution of 4/11 Algiers attacks and Lakhdaria (Bouira province) attacks in July. A security source reported that the arrest was achieved thanks to information given by the so called “Zoubir Abu Sadjia”, one of the three kamikaze bombers.
Actually security services have confirmed the hypothesis that “Abu Sadjia” is the one who parked the bombed black Mercedes in front of Denmark Embassy and not far from State officials’ residencies. Security services’ investigations with “Abu Sadjia” led to identify two other elements who participated directly in bombing both Government and Bab Ezzouar police station headquarters.
Well-informed security sources mentioned that the two suspects live in Bourouba municipality, not far from Merouane Boudina’s home, who is called “Abou Sadjia”, one of 4/11 attacks kamikazes. They unveiled said that investigators identified the two attacks support cell members.
The same sources added that security services’ Special Forces, and while searching the two suspects’ houses, seized some requisites which have a direct link with the black Mercedes car bomb which was dismantled, and seized also other requisites of a Jack bomb truck that was used in Lakhdaria attacks. El Khabar source refused to provide further information about those requisites as investigations still not finished
