"The GSPC Islamic extremist group, which pledged its allegiance to Osama bin Laden and vowed to pursue jihad in Algeria, is said to have been founded on the instructions of the al-Qaeda leader. The Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) has become the main extremist group in Algeria's Islamist rebellion, which has left some 150,000 people dead since 1992."
