Algeria, Politics, 6/13/2000

Former Algerian foreign minister Ahmed Attaf is making a tour of some European and Islamic countries in which the Algerian government believe that Islamic members are using as a center to support Algerian armed groups.

Informed Algerian sources said Attaf - who is escorted by a security delegation - visited some European countries such as Spain and U.K and will soon head to Belgium and Pakistan - clarifying that discussions during the tour deal with establishing security cooperation with these countries including having back some fugitive from the Algerian army.

The official authority did not declare this visit which acquires special importance especially in light of ongoing to end external support networks to opposition groups.

Yet, Spanish prime minister Khoseh Maria Aznar said on Saturday in a message he sent to the Algerian president Abd El-Aziz Bu Taflika that he gave instructions to officials in the foreign and interior ministries to receive the Algerian delegation and to discuss with them the causes which they will raise with the escorting delegation.
