"Al Qaeda has for the first time announced a union with an Algerian insurgent group that has designated France as an enemy, saying they will act together against French and American interests. Current and former French officials specialising in terrorism said yesterday that an Al Qaeda alliance with the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, known by its French initials GSPC, was cause for concern. Al Qaeda’s No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahiri, announced the “blessed union” in a video posted this week on the Internet to mark the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks in the United States. France’s leader have repeatedly warned that the decision not to join the US-led war in Iraq would not shield the country from terrorism."
