Terrorist organization “Al Qaeda Islamic Maghreb” claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack on August 26 in the Algerian city of Cherchell, this Sunday August 28 reported agence france-presse. As a statement of a certain Salah Abu Mohammad, a terrorist attack against the Algerian military was established as the seat of government of Algeria for the support of the regime Colonel Qaddafi, and the desire to give him asylum. The attack on the military academy in Cherchell occurred in the evening on August 26. Exploded near a building managed by a suicide machine, and around the scene when a crowd gathered, it rode on a motorcycle and another suicide bomber blew himself up. The attack killed 18 people – 16 soldiers and two civilians, 26 people were injured. The representative of “Al-Qaeda Islamic Maghreb,” says that during the attack killed 36 people and wounded were 35, ITAR-TASS. Representatives of the National Transitional Council of Libya (NPC), also openly declared that Algeria will answer for their refusal to recognize the new Libyan government. Libyan rebel leadership said that the Algerian authorities sent mercenaries to help al-Gaddafi. The actions of terrorists, “al-Qaeda Islamic Maghreb” is actually consistent with the National Transitional Council of Libya (NPC), their main task to achieve by refusing to support Algeria’s Al-Qadhafi and his supporters. Such a strong coordination action Libyan rebels and Islamic radicals against Algeria, can become an unpleasant surprise for the leadership of France, which strenuously trying to not notice that the “Libyan revolutionaries” – is the radical Islamists. Destabilization of Algeria, is harming primarily in France, but was conceived as a crusade against Libya, Nicolas Sarkozy of such effects are not expected.

Despite their “victory” the rebels are anxious that NATO continue to support them. I can assure them unequivocally that NATO will continue to bomb and terrorise and infiltrate special forces and mercenaries into Libya.

Further specific evidence has emerged that there is a strong racist element within the rebel forces, including at command level, and it is the stated intention of these forces to ethnically cleanse areas they capture of their dark-skinned inhabitants.

The myth of ‘African mercenaries’ in Libya has been used since the start of the Libyan conflict to explain away and cover up the mass lynching of black Libyans and migrant workers in Libya by racist elements of the rebels. The mainstream media have largely been complicit in this NATO/rebel propaganda and have maintained the NATO narrative of portraying the rebels as ‘democratic freedom fighters’. This is despite the readily available evidence of racist attacks on blacks by rebels.

Speaking before nearly 300 people–two-thirds of them black, the remainder white and hispanic–in her T-shirt proclaiming that “war kills”, the former U.S. congresswoman said:
“We need someone in the White House who thinks like us and not just one who looks like us. We have to act like we’re free if we want to be free. We have to liberate ourselves from war-mongering political parties.”

The other day a friend recommended an article by Seumas Milne in the Guardian on the events unfolding in Libya. Of course, it was a good article in many ways, well written and clearly taking an anti-NATO stance as perhaps you would expect from a leading leftist columnist. Nevertheless, I dismissed the article as propaganda on account of a statement which I thought was as unfounded as it was helpful to the NATO cause. This is the offending sentence:
“None of that means the euphoria on the streets of Libyan cities at the fall of a regime long decayed into dynastic despotism isn’t entirely genuine.”
