Top Islamist 'killed in Algeria' A top-ranking member of an Algerian terrorist group has been killed in clashes with the army, officials said. Samir Saioud, also known as Samir Moussaab, was killed in fighting in Si Mustapha, east of the capital Algiers, security sources told APS news agency. Saioud was believed to be the number-two of an al-Qaeda-linked Islamist group, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC). Saioud's body was identified by former members of his group, APS said. His death has not yet been officially confirmed. Car bombings Earlier this month, the group claimed responsibility for a series of car bombings in the capital, Algiers, including one near the prime minister's office. The blasts killed at least 23 people and injured more than 200. Violent attacks have been increasing in Algeria since GSPC, the country's main Islamist rebel group, changed its name to the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb in January. Despite an amnesty announced two years ago, violence in Algeria has not completely died down since its height in the mid-1990s.

Anti-polio campaign thwarted by clerics (No, you are not misreading that headline) dawn ^ \| 04/27/2007 \| milwguy dawn.com PESHAWAR, April 26: Parents of about 4,000 children in the district of Swat are said to have refused to let their children be administered polio drops during a three-day anti-polio campaign which ended on Thursday. A health official told Dawn on that a propaganda campaign launched by local clerics, spearheaded by Maulana Fazlullah was the main stumbling block in carrying out the campaign against the crippling disease. At least 2,400 people refused to let their children be administered polio drops on the first day of the campaign. Local clerics called upon the people through their FM radio stations that polio drops were a tool being used by western countries, especially the US, to make the next generation of Muslims sexually impotent, said the health official associated with the campaign. He said that on the last day of the campaign, people in Dewlai, Koza Bandai, Bara Bandai, Dherai, Qambar, Charbagh and Guli Bagh villages of the Swat district denied medical teams access to their areas.
