Al Qaeda loses another one

NY Times:

The Algerian army has killed the leader of North Africa's largest and most dangerous Islamic terrorist organization in a gun battle east of Algiers, according to the country's official news agency, dealing a serious blow to Al Qaeda's affiliates in the region.

The death of Nabil Sahrawi, the leader of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, follows earlier reports that the group's founder, Hassan Hattab, is dead and comes amid an Algerian operation to take custody of another of the group's leaders, Amari Saofi, from a Chadian rebel group in the Sahara desert.

The G.S.P.C. leadership has been "completely neutralized" in a "vast anti-terrorist operation," an Algerian military officer was quoted as saying by the APS news agency.
