They have Islamic extremists who murder people in gross ways in small villages, and they broke off from France after a long and bloody war, after which the French-born Algerians tried to murder the French president Charles de Gaulle, which gave birth to one of the best thrillers ever written, 'Day of the Jackal', by Frederick Forsythe. That's all I know, though... Sad

maybe, you got a link for their website? also is it free to use?

I think it's free, since I used at some point...I don't remember the exact adress, but if you pick a search engine and search for encyclopedia brittanica, their home page should come up first.

nope, you gotta pay for it

http://www.britannica.com/needmore/

it wants an annual subscription fee Sad

Oh, sorry then. It said free when I found it, but I now I can't get back into it again... Sad

Don't your school have access to these kind of things? I remember mine did...maybe you could access the UN's page, that's what we did when we did the UN thing. It has information on what different countries do in the UN, politically. I could try and dig that up for you.

OK, here we go...this is the address of Algeria's permanent mission to the UN, it should have records of their statements and votes in the UN, hope it can be of help...

thanks a bunch gustaf!!! Much Appreciated!!!

You're welcome...I hope this one will be of more help to you...when I did this I had to represent France in a debate on AIDS, and I immediately stumbled across a month-old speech by Chirac to the general assembly on AIDS...guess if I felt lucky! Smiley

I've heard that of secret service groups too, but I thought that there wre Islamists doing it eventually, and that the secret service thing was never proved...but it was off the top of my head, I haven't heard from Algeria in a long time...
