Suspected North African terror figure held by Chad rebels
An Algerian militant linked to al Qaida, Amari Saifi, is believed captured by a Chadian rebel group in March and is now tied to a ransom demand from the rebels. Diplomats say Algeria, France, Germany, Niger, and the United States were approached as potential holders of Saifi. The case centers on Saifi, the No 2 of a violent group blamed for killing 43 Algerian soldiers and the Sahara kidnapping of 32 European tourists.
