Antar Zouabri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antar Zouabri was the leader of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), an islamist guerilla army in Algeria, between 1996 and 2002. Zouabri was killed in a gun battle with security forces in his hometown of Boufarik in February, 2002.
Zouabri presided over the decline of the GIA, as it moved into a stage of increasingly mindless violence and alienation from Algerian society.
