Algeria says top terrorist killed

I had to correct the BBC headline for them, again.

From The BBC

The Algerian army says it has killed the leader of an Islamic militant group with links to al-Qaeda.

Soldiers cornered and shot Nabil Sahraoui, head of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), and several other senior militants.

He took over as the GSPC leader last year, declaring support for al-Qaeda.

The group is involved in the Islamist insurgency in Algeria that has killed some 150,000 people and last year kidnapped 32 European tourists.


[...]

Army radio said the man seen as Sahraoui's potential successor, Abdi Abdelaziz nicknamed "Okacha the paratrooper", was among those killed.

Excellent, they got the leader and his successor. More scumbag terrorists bite the dust
