In a statement published on Friday, the GIA, which has also demanded that 22 Algerians detained at a French military barracks be freed, said France must agree to the conditions or face "violent attacks on its interests in Algeria."
The Algerians are being detained indefinitely after a police crackdown on Moslem militants in France which followed the killing of three French paramilitary gendarmes and two embassy employees in Algeria on August 3.
The statement, reported by the London-based al-Hayat newspaper, demanded that Paris:
?evacuate all French citizens from Algeria;
?end its support for Algeria's army-backed government, which the militants are trying to overthrow;
?agree to compensate Moslems for losses the GIA said they suffered because of French support for the Algerian authorities;
?protect Moslem rights in France;
?give the names of French government officials it said were "collaborating" with the Algerian government;
?"agree to work and cooperate with the armed Moslem group in accordance with known Islamic laws."
Militant Moslem groups, among which the GIA is reputed to be the most ruthless, have been fighting the Algiers government since the authorities in January 1992 cancelled a general election the fundamentalists were poised to win.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
