Djamel Zitouni Biography

Djamel Zitouni is one of the most popular and richest Terrorist who was born on January 5, 1964 in Les Eucalyptus, Algiers, Algeria. Abou Abderahmane Amine was who was born Abou hadj Arab Amine Zitouni (January 5 1964 ) in Les Eucalyptus, Algiers Province from July 16 to 16 1996) was the head of the Algerian Armed Islamic Group (1994-1996) the terrorist group that was responsible for carrying the bombing spree within France from 1995. His death was attributed to another faction on the 16th of July 1996.

The reports of war among the AIS and GIA were on the rise (resulting in around 60 deaths just in March 1995) as well as the GIA repeated its threats of death towards FIS along with AIS leaders, declaring that they would as”the “sole prosecutor of jihad” and was irritated by their attempts to reach a deal to the government. On July 11 they killed one of the co-founders of FIS, Abdelbaki Sahraoui, in Paris (although there is some doubt about the validity of their statement saying they are the sole perpetrators of the assassination.)

Considerable uproar and accusations of manipulation of GIA by security service followed. Militants began “to desert in droves”: Mustapha Kartali, Ali Benhadjar, and Hassan Hattab’s factions all refused to recognize Zitouni’s leadership starting around late 1995, although they would not formally break away until somewhat later. On May 31, 1996 Al-Ansar suspended publication demanding an explanation from the GIA, and a week later it and two other Islamists groups (including the al-Gama’a al-Islamiyya in Egypt) announced their withdrawal of support for Zitouni. In the summer of 1996 the GIA finally released a video of two friends of the victims “confessing to the plot and humbly requesting summary execution for themselves.”

After the death of Zitouni in 1998, prior to the World Cup, France in collaboration with other European countries launched a vast preventive operation against the GIA. About 100 alleged members of the group were arrested throughout Europe. In Belgium, security forces seized weapons, detonators and forged identity papers. On 11 June 1999, the GIA announced a jihad on French territory in a threatening letter addressed to the media.

In the 1995 election in 1995, in the election of 1995, the GIA threatened to shoot those who voted (using their phrase “one vote, one bullet”) However, voter the turnout was high among those in the middle class of the religiously pious. Then the GIA was affected by internal tensions following the election. Shortly afterward the governing body executed Islamist leaders who were members of the GIA. In December members of the GIA killed the third person in the MEI who was a member of it as AIS, Azzedine Baa. In January, Abderrezak Redjam announced he wanted to return to his former AIS AIS and was later killed. Mohammad Said’s death followed. Mohammad Said followed in November 1995. The deaths of the two men weren’t announced in the Al-Ansar journal until December 15th, in which they were killed by the GIA blamed the murders on security forces however, a couple of issues later , on the 4th and 11th of January it was announced that it had actually killed the two men for being “members of the heretic djazarist sect” and also for planning a coup d’etat. Others Islamists claimed that they had protested against the GIA’s incessant violence.

Cherif Gousmi succeeded Djamel Zitouni, who became Groupe Islamique Arme head on the 27th of October in 1994. Zitouni was a 30-year-old son of a businessman who sold poultry had little religious training, but was skilled in the killing of French citizens. Zitouni expanded the scope of the GIA’s assaults on civilians up to French homeland, starting in the hijacking and destruction of Air France Flight 8969 at the close of December 1994, and continued with numerous bombings and attempts to bombs through 1995. Then, in Algeria himself, Zitouni carried on similarly, with car bombs, assassinations and murders of athletes, musicians and women who were not covered and the typical victims. In February 1995, the government released a statement stating the following “for every pure Muslim woman arrested by the government, an apostate’s wife would be executed.” Non GIA Islamists like Muslim Brotherhood members and Djazarist were deemed Godless and required to be repentant “according to a precise procedure”. At this point the apparent ineffective nature of some of its actions caused an assumption (encouraged through FIS members from abroad) of the possibility that Djazarist might have been snatched by Algerian secret services.

The GIA was responsible for a string of bombings across France between 1995 and 1996. An analysis of a bomb with an ineffective trigger mechanism allowed the identification of the co-conspirator, Khaled Kelkal, who was killed and shot by French Gendarmes on September 29th, 1995. In the late year of 1999, a number of GIA members were found guilty by an French tribunal for their involvement in the 1995 bombings.

In addition the GIA pledged to fight the AIS as an enemy; particularly in the west, full-scale battles between them became common. In July 1996, Zitouni was killed probably by Islamist seeking vengeance for his killing of Mohammed Said and Abderrazaq Redjem, or by one of the breakaway factions – Ali Benhadjar’s Medea brigade, later to become the AIS-aligned Islamic League for Da’wa and Jihad – and was succeeded by Antar Zouabri. Djamel Zitouni had earned notoriety for such acts as the killing of the seven Monks of Tibhirine in March, but his successor would prove to be far bloodier.
