from Algeria's own state-controlled media... 28
Sweeney's received a worldwide reaction from his interview with
an Algerian secret policeman, an interview which fingered a number of
Western countries, France in particular, as being responsible for the
ruthless killing of innocent people. His reports and firsthand impres-
sions showed that the terror in Algeria was actually backed by the state.
Although the whole world is aware of this, nobody said it had to stop,
preferring instead to avoid speaking about it all whenever possible. In
other words, "The Algerian state and its Western friends preferred to
act under cover of darkness."

Those Really Responsible for the Murders
Sweeney gave the examples of three separate killings in that arti-
cle, revealing precisely who was responsible for the murders attributed
to the Muslims. The first of these happened in July 1994. On the day that
the Western G-7 leaders met in Naples, seven Italian sailors had their
throats cut while at an Algerian port, allegedly by "Muslim extremists."
The Western press immediately and fiercely condemned the "radical
Muslims" who had carried out the attack.
However, Joseph, the Algerian secret policeman used by Sweeney

as a source, had a different view of the attack than most in the West. He
said that the killers were his colleagues in the secret police. The interest-
ing thing was that at the time of the attacks the port concerned was
within a military area, and a well-protected naval base. Sweeney drew
attention to the extraordinary nature of the events:
Jenjen was, at the time of the massacre, a heavily guarded naval dock-
yard, in a military zone, with a naval barracks a few yards from the
ship where the Italians were butchered. If extremists were the killers,
they had to pass the military control, tiptoe by the barracks, slit the
throats of the Italian crew, unload 600 tones of cargo, which was
found to be missing, and tiptoe back without being spotted. 29
The second example provided by Sweeney in his article was no
less fascinating:
