%X Algeria's security forces are facing a new threat from the North Africa cell Al-Queda, after hard-won victories over indigenous Islamic insurgencies. The continued insurgencies have forced the civilian population to navigate a maze of checkpoints and concrete pylons outside government buildings, due to fear of bombings from the enemy nation. The attacks from Al-Queda including suicide bombings and co-ordinated, remote controlled detonations, have led to a strategy of national reconciliation. Algeria has shown its commitment to peace by dissolving the special anti-terror squads, including an army special forces unit, the national office for repression of banditry and the parliamentary Legitimate Defence Groups (GLD).<p /><p>Language: en</p>
