After a series of devastating suicide bomb attacks in Kabylia this month of August 2008, here is what BBC NEWS publishes:

Military campaign
Both attacks occurred in the area just east and south of the capital, Algiers, where recent violence has been most intense.
That area skirts Kabylia, a Berber-speaking region where Algerian security forces have long struggled to extinguish rebel groups.
"There has been a constant military campaign that clearly is very difficult to achieve, largely because the region is mountainous and the local population is either indifferent or sympathetic to the extremists," said George Joffe, a North Africa specialist at Cambridge University's Centre of International Studies.
At the same time, he said many militants have rejected a recent government amnesty that was launched as part of a peace and reconciliation plan passed by a referendum in 2005.
"The Algerian authorities are facing a major problem in terms of conceiving a way of dealing with this," he said.

NEWS BBC has a serious reputation but today i am asking the following questions:

On what basis was the assertion about the Kabyles sympathy toward the Islamists?
An investigation, evidence, journalists on the spot?
None of that, no! Simply the statement allegedly made by Georges Joffre, an unlikely expert on North Africa ...

What does Georges Joffre knows about Kabylia?
Has he ever been there or has he ever studied history or politic of Kabylia? I don't think so!

The French state forges the best relationship with the Algerian government which represents with the Islamists the worst enemies of Kabylia.

A simple search on the net about Kabylia and there are plenty of information that confirm the fact that Islamists and Kabyles are everything but friends.

Today even journalistic honesty has a price, like everything on the marked place. The question is how much?
