While the US tries to find some semblance of Al-Qaeda in Libya, neighboring Algeria knows what they could be in for, and are calling for open and honest recognition of the problem Al-Qaeda poses. The goal of AQIM, or Al-Qaeda in the Mahgreb is the conquest and rule of Islam over all of North Africa, not just Libya and Egypt. There is more fom Al-Qaeda on the horizon but the question is: will we recognize it as the threat it is?

Algiers -- Algeria is concerned by a noticeably increased Al-Qaeda presence in neighboring Libya and worried militant groups could lay their hands on weapons circulating in the country, a senior official said on Tuesday.
Abdelkader Messahel, Algerian Deputy Foreign Minister said he was worried "particularly through the increasingly noticeable presence of AQIM (Al-Qaeda's north African wing) in Libya and the increasingly noticeable circulation of weapons which can be exploited by terrorist groups."
Addressing a news conference after meeting Britain's Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt, Messahel said a prolonged conflict in Libya risked destabilizing the Sahel region.
"Everybody has noticed, and we are not the only ones, that there are a lot of weapons circulating in Libya and this situation, if it persists, will aggravate the situation in the Sahel," he said.
