Merged to save confusion. (not sure it will help!).
As I speculated elsewhere, ennahar does have a pretty 'tabloid' imagination by Maghrebi media standards (not that I know them all by heart).
Some of you will have spotted this popular report on there from a year ago, which I only just bothered reading but which has plenty of reader support.
Ennahar Online - Algerians and Moroccans in El Qaida training camps in Israel
AFAICU, it claims Mossad is recruiting and training people to send to AQIM.
"... for possible terrorist operations against the interests of foreign countries in the Arab countries who are regarded by Israel as a threat to its security"
Can't work out if
" the interests of foreign countries in the Arab countries"
means for example Shell in Algeria,
or if it means
"... interests of foreign countries in the Arab World"
which would mean Alg, Libya, etc.
Who knows what the current story is really about - inflitrating GSPC to help them wreak havoc or to undermine them? - but you suspect it may be trying to capitalise on current Israeli unpopularity wrt whatever snub Hilary Clinton received a few weeks ago (missed the full story) and of course the Brit-passport cloning/Dubai assassination saga.
Maybe it was just a chancer backpacker who forgot to get off the bus in Ghardaia...
