Algerian protest communique against Hillary Clinton
Algeria-USA, Politics, 5/18/1999

The national assembly of the families of terrorism victims sent yesterday a protest communique to US First Lady Hillary Clinton through the US embassy in Algeria.

The organization expressed its great astonishment concerning a report that Hillary Clinton received a delegation of representatives of families of the missing, stating that the information published on this meeting showed a "blatant bias in favor of her interlocutors partisan or close to the former Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) and alter her neutrality."

The communique, moreover, stated out that the assembly doesn't belong to any party, adding, "We estimate that any appreciation on the reality in Algeria will be inevitably false, considering that neither the point of view of the majority of citizens who resist to terrorism, neither the point of view of victims of terrorist barbarism have been taken into account."

The communique, parts of which were broadcast by the Algeria News Agency, added that the issue of the missing is a source of manipulation till now used to hide all violations of human rights committed by the terrorists to concentrate the international public opinion on claimed excesses by security forces.
