Distro - Algeria: Anti-Terrorist "Patriots" 

Paolo Pellegrin 

Algeria is involved in one of the world's bloodiest and murkiest terrorist battlefields which has cost some 150.000 lives. This story, shot on assignment for Newsweek (November 5th), in the region of Oran shows how Algeria's elite forces GIS - the Special Intervention Group, created to fight terrorism in 1988 - hunt members of the GIA - the Armed Islamic Group. Together with armed civilian "patriots", the GIS patrol at night protecting villages from the GIA, which is considered to be increasingly linked to the networks of Osama Bin Laden

These photos are exceptional as the GIS do not permit...
