Written by Mike Odiegwu


The global terrorist group, Al-Qaeda, is planning a “wave of abductions” of Westerners in the Sahel, the Algerian secret service agency has said.

According to a report in Algeria’s most widely read newspaper, el-Khabar, the country’s secret service, the Department of Investigation and Security, has informed Algeria’s neighbours of the terrorist plans.

The Sahel region comprises Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Algeria, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia and Eritrea.

The secret agency, the newspaper reports, says the abductions are slated to be carried out by Mauritanian terrorists.

Algeria is home to the Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, a group that has been identified by security agencies as providing both logistics and training to the violent Islamic sect in the North-East, Boko Haram.

In a recent interview, a Boko Haram leader had admitted the link between the sect and Mauritania, saying that several of its bomb experts and foot soldiers received training in the country. The leader had also said that some members of the group had just returned from Mauritania to launch new terrorist attacks.

Recently, the Algerian Deputy Foreign Minister, Abdelkader Messahel, had told journalists that his country had established a link between Boko Haram and the AIQM.

The moment they capture someone from a powerful country, is the moment the core-North will be forcefully subjugated.
The reason is clear, the US will not even remotely risk the possibility of another country with extremist idea's evolving out of Northern Nigeria; neither will they risk the possibility of extremists laying their hands on Nigeria's oil fields to hurt the US economy.
We are in for a wild ride indeed!
