Algerian gets jail term over threats to western missions
جزائري يحكم عليه بالسجن بعد تهديداته بتنفيذ عمليات ضد الغرب
An Algerian has been jailed for a year for having threatened attacks on the United States and Canada in e-mails to Western embassies from a branch of al-Qaeda, the APS news agency reported.


An Algiers court also fined 37-year-old Ahmed Allouat 100,000 dinars (1,000 euros, 1,300 dollars). Prosecutors had sought a 15-year jail term.

Prosecutors said that in 2004 Allouat, who hails from the southern town of Laghouat, had sent e-mails to the US and Canadian embassies in neighboring Morocco, purportedly from Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).

In them, he warned of imminent attacks on their territories.

Last year, he sent similar e-mails bearing the AQIM logo and pictures to the Belgian, Canadian, French and Italian security services, saying that north African and Afghan militants were preparing attacks on their countries.

He was arrested shortly afterwards, judicial officials said.

During police interrogation, the suspect also confessed that he had sent similar e-mails to the Algerian Presidency and Defence Ministry as well as to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.

However during his trial Allouat recanted and he did not know how to use a computer.

Earlier this month, two 25-year-old Frenchmen kidnapped from a restaurant in the Niger capital Niamey were found dead in Mali after a failed attempt by French special forces to rescue them from an AQIM convoy.

Five other French citizens and two African colleagues were kidnapped last year from the Niger uranium mining town of Arlit and are thought to be being held in AQIM camps in the northern Mali.

AQIM, which claims close ties to Al-Qaeda, emerged out of an Algerian radical group. It has sought to extend its range into nations on the southern edge of the Sahara.
