Algeria

An Algerian court has sentenced Amari Saifi, also known as Abderrezak el Para, to death. El Para planned and led the 2003 kidnapping of European tourists in the Algerian Sahara. He was designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the United States. He was eventually captured by Chadian rebels and turned over to the Algerian government.
