The banana theory of terrorism [Ressource électronique] : alternative truths and the collapse of the 'second' (Saharan) front in the war on terror

The article focuses on the alternative truths and the collapse of the second Saharan front in the war on terror. The section aims to separate the disinformation from the truth, and to explain the motives of the two main parties involved, namely the U.S. and Algeria, in launching this new front. It provides a summary and largely descriptive account of the Saharan war on terror, which has been described, albeit sometimes in nothing more than short newspaper items, in an estimated 3000 official government press releases, articles, and media reports of one sort or another.
