Antar Zouabri

Antar Zouabri was the leader of the Armed Islamic Group(GIA), an islamist guerilla army in Algeria, between 1996 and 2002. Zouabri was killed in a gun battle with security forces in his hometown of Boufarik in February, 2002.

Zouabri presided over the decline of the GIA, as it moved into a stage of increasingly mindless violence and alienation from Algerian society.
