On the recordApril 28, 1998
Mr. Speaker, tens of thousands of Algerians--many of them women and children--have lost their lives since violent terrorist attacks began in 1992. Hundreds more perished during the holy month of Ramadan that ended just a few weeks ago. As many as 120 people--including 32 children under the age of 2--were killed by axe-wielding assailants during the last weekend in March. This resolution strongly condemns the perpetrators--the Armed Islamic Group, or GIA, and any other terrorist groups responsible for the atrocities committed in Algeria, and urges those who continue to engage in violence and the fundamental abuse of human rights to discontinue such activity immediately.
