Adlene Layada discloses details of his abduction
El Khbar, 28 october 2006
The former Armed Islamic Group (GIA) Abd El Hak Layada’s son returned back home after five days’ interrogation after being abducted and imprisoned in an unknown place by armed people. The abducted stated that he was subject to a detailed interrogation on his “alleged visit to the Salafiste Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC)’s leader” and the contents of his father’s discussion with Ali Ben Hadj.
Adlene Laâyayda was released in Zeralda by kidnappers whose number is unknown after 5 days abduction that started near Ali Boumenjel Street in Algiers where he was introduced by fore in a car by two armed people.
Adlene made clear to yesterday when he met El Khabar in his family’s residence when he’s been heading to the Government palace headquarters to submit a complaint to home affairs minister from my father. The speaker, who seemed not to be affected psychologically by the abduction, pointed out that two people one armed with a Kalashnikov, the other with a gun machine compelled him to get into the car after being blindfolded and handcuffed. He further mentioned that four people were in the car stating: “I heard one of them talking in his cell phone saying: we’ve got hold of Layada’s son and gave him an appointment in the highway where another car was waiting for us and we head to an unknown place where I’ve been introduced to a room and the interrogation started”
He stated that the interrogation was about armed surrenders who visited Abd El Hak Layada and his relation with “Salvation” second man Ali Ben Hadj and about their discussion, “I have replied : you should ask them” and that “the two men were opening the doors to the good and closing the evil’s ones”. They also showed him Hassan Hatab pictures, the former chief of the Salafiste Group and the pictures of Abdel Ouadoud and another armed person who lives near his family in Berarqi, when he recognized them they have charged him with having relations with them. “This is obviously wrong because their pictures are being the focus of media and they are known by lot of people”. The kidnappers released him on the fifth day of the interrogation, in Zeralda suburbs.
