AQIM denies the Algerian government has infiltrated al-Andalus Media

ICT JWMG August 2010 No. 1

The “Al-Andalus” Jihadi media institute, which serves as a mouthpiece for Al- Qaeda in the Maghreb, published a film titled “The Invasion of Al-Mansura”, as part of the series “In the Shadow of the Swords”. The film shows an Algerian Army vehicle being taken over and its occupants killed in an attack carried out by fighters from Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb. The late publication of the video was due to the loss of the original copies during an ambush by the Algerian government forces, in which several Mujahideen were killed and the individual transporting the film was captured. The video clip states that there are many other videos documenting the activities of Al-Qaeda in the Maghreb which were also lost. The clip criticizes the “false reports” spread by the Algerian media about the success of Algeria’s intelligence services in infiltrating the “Al-Andalus” Jihadi media institute, and in capturing the organization’s propaganda material.
