Talk:Armed Islamic Group of Algeria

The group is thought to have fewer than 100 members. by who and when ? Ant

This page is in need of updating. I'm not sure what the correct tag is, but I know that this group no longer exists. freestylefrappe 01:50, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I can't find any confirmation that the GIA declared a jihad against France on June 11 1999. The group was already hostile to France and had carried out attacks against the country, but can anyone find any supporting evidence for that particular declaration to the media?

Successor Group

This group splintered and then fell apart entirely. One of the splinter went on to form al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb which was originally the Salafist Group for Call and Combat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.95.126.178 (talk) 15:38, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Chronological order?

"In 1999, following the election of a new president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, a new law gave amnesty to most guerrillas, motivating large numbers to "repent" and return to normal life. The violence declined substantially after Antar Zouabri was killed in 2002, Rachid Abou Tourab succeeded him and was allegedly killed by close aides in July 2004. He was replaced by Boulenouar Oukil. On 7 April 2005, the GIA was reported to have killed 14 civilians at a fake road block. Three week later on 29 April, Oukil was arrested.[42] Nourredine Boudiafi was the last known "emir" of the GIA. He was arrested sometime in November 2004 and the Algerian government announced his arrest in early January 2005.[43]"

It seems to me that this section goes from 1999, to 2002, to 2004... but then goes to April 2005, then back to January 2005? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keefete (talk • contribs) 13:09, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Boulenouar Oukil Arrested or Killed?

In the Leaders, "amirs" section, Boulenouar Oukil is said to have been arrested 29 April 2005. In fact, there was even more information before this edit. The provided reference says, "But it said his arrest followed the killing of Mr Boudiafi's predecessor, Rachid Ouakali, alias Abu Tourab, in July by his own men so that Mr Boudiafi could take over." So possibly he was arrested then killed later but this is not supported by the current reference. --Pithon314 (talk) 23:43, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
