US forces are training the Algerian military. Washington wants to
provide Algiers with pilot-less drone planes.
This military base is a result of agreements signed between
Washington and Algiers for oil industry development.
In addition, the United States has worked to include Algeria in the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and considers this North
African country one of its most important allies outside of NATO.
Israel, but Algeria is heading toward having better economic
relations with Washington because of the Algerian oil reserve and
natural resources.'

Ah! Algeria is where wicked Moslem extremists kill people and oppose
democracy, isn't it?
Well no, not exactly!
The 'Islamic terror' in Algeria is reportedly organised by the
Algerian government which is close ally of the USA, UK and France.
Before 1991, Algeria had a 'corrupt and unpopular dictatorship'.
In 1991 the Islamic Party known as FIS won a landslide in the
country's first FREE multiparty elections.
Many moderate people had turned to the FIS because they were fed up
with the corrupt regime which had held power for so long.
The USA was not happy about FIS; and the corrupt Algerian elite were
not happy.
So the army took over.
Then the killings began.
More than 100,000 people have died.
