Apparent copyright violations edit

The Terrorism Links section appears to be a copy-and-paste synthesis from the newspaper articles cited with a bare minimum of paraphrasing.
WP: In 2001, The Daily Telegraph reported that 100 known Algerian terrorists were living in the UK as asylum seekers.[6] Dr Mohammed Sekkoum (chairman of the Algerian Refugee Council) who has helped thousands of fellow Algerians set up home in the UK claims the actions of a select few are "nothing to do with Islam" and says as an Algerian he feels "angry and humiliated that the actions of a minority were threatening to tarnish the reputation of thousands of law-abiding Algerians in Britain".[6]

Source: An Algerian refugee leader believes that up to 100 known terrorists have entered Britain as asylum seekers in the past two years.Dr Mohammed Sekkoum, chairman of the Algerian Refugee Council, has helped thousands of his fellow countrymen on their arrival in Britain.... said he was speaking out because the actions of a minority were threatening to tarnish the reputation of thousands of law-abiding Algerians in Britain.

WP: In 2003, Manchester police officer Stephen Oake became the first British policeman to die investigating international terrorism. A suspected terrorist raid was undertaken on a house in a northern suburb of the city, contrary to the intelligence they had been given, there were three men, all of north African origin and in their 20s in the property. During the raid, violence broke out and five officers were injured, four of them receiving knife wounds (with Oake's being fatal).[3]

Source: Stephen Oake was the first British policeman to die investigating international terrorism.... Contrary to the intelligence they had been given, there were three men, all of north African origin and in their 20s, in the property... The events between 4.22pm, when the raid started, and 5.45pm, when a violent struggle broke out, are confused.... in the melee that followed, five officers were injured, four of them receiving knife wounds

WP: Many more successful raids on properties owned by Algerians in the UK followed, however the French government believed that enough wasn't being done at the time to help combat the serious problem. Their inclusion came after they actually traced many terrorist attacks and incidents on French soil to British-based Algerians.[3]

Source: The French Government believes that Britain has not done enough to target alleged terrorists operating from these shores.

WP:Notable cases of Algerian-British terrorists and suspected terrorists include Lotfi Raissi, an Algerian residing in the UK who was the first person charged in connection with the September 11, 2001 attacks (he was presumed to have trained the terrorists how to fly commercial airliners), however, in 2003 a court ruled that the charges against Raissi were without evidence.[18]

Source seems significantly different.

WP: London based Haydar Abu Doha was also charged with playing an alleged role in the foiled plot to bomb Los Angeles International Airport.[19]

Source: British police arrested the man, Haydar Abu Doha, 36, on a U.S. warrant charging him with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction for an alleged role backing the foiled plot to bomb Los Angeles International Airport

WP: A notable case is that of A. Jedid who was extradited from the UK but fled to Afghanistan under a fake passport in what is believed to be Al-Qaeda linked.[20]

SOURCE? The source provided makes no mention of this case.

WP: In 2008, Hicham Yezza, a PhD student at the University of Nottingham was arrested by police after he had downloaded an Al-Qaeda training manual (which was later found to be for legitimate research purposes and was from a US government website where it was freely available).[20]

Source: Hicham Yezza, 30, was arrested last week after he downloaded an al-Qa'ida training manual at the University of Nottingham.... was downloaded from a US government website where it was freely available
