ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) - An Algerian court convicted and sentenced to death a man considered to be the country's top terrorist, according to a report published Thursday.
Abdelmalek Dourkdel, head of the Salafist Group for Call and Combat, or GSPC, was convicted along with seven others, all tried in absentia this week, the French-language Liberte newspaper reported. The report could not be immediately confirmed.
The eight, including Dourkdel, were convicted of forming an armed group, destroying public property with explosives and attempted theft, Liberte reported.
