	Islamic group calls for truce in Algeria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		But the Islamic Salvation Army's unprecedented call for a cease-fire was not likely to spell an end to the slaughter, which has been blamed mainly on the rival Armed Islamic Group, considered the most radical faction in the insurgency.
		The Islamic Salvation Army is the military wing of the banned Islamic Salvation Front, once the most popular political party in Algeria but now second in notoriety to the Armed Islamic Group.
		The communique noted the July 15 release of Salvation Front leader Abassi Madani from six years in military prison, a longstanding demand of the Salvation Front, and predicted that other such measures would follow.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Armed Islamic Group
		The GIA adopted violent tactics in 1992 after the military government voided the victory of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), the largest Islamic opposition party, in the first round of legislative elections held in December 1991.
		On August 26, it declared a "Caliphate", or Islamic government for Algeria, with Gousmi as Commander of the Faithful, Mohammed Said as head of government, the US-based Haddam as foreign minister, and Mekhloufi as provisional interior minister.
		Under the leadership of Antar Zouabri, its longest serving "emir" (1996-2002), the GIA became a "takfirist" group, considering Algerian society to be in violation of Islamic precepts, therefore justifying the killing of members of that society as a form of purification of heretical elements.

	Islamic Militant Movements
		From the tenth century onward, regional pressures reinforced by ethnic self-assertion splintered the Islamic empire and it was progressively displaced by feuding kingdoms across the massive arc stretching from the plains of central Asia to the Atlantic coast of Africa.
		Islamic militancy is, however, rampant in the more populous Arab countries of Egypt, Algeria and the Sudan.
		Not surprisingly, therefore, the Islamic Salvation Front won 67 per cent of the provinces and 55 per cent of the municipalities in the regional and local elections held in June 1990.
