Source: www.ultimenotizie.tv --- 2 days ago Noukchott, 12 mar. – (Adnkronos/Aki) – “Liberata la cooperante spagnola Alicia Gamez dopo la sua conversione all’Islam”. E’ questo il titolo di un comunicato diffuso dalla cellula di al-Qaeda nel Maghreb islamico e recapitato alla tv satellitare ‘al-Arabiya’. Il gruppo terrorista, che il 26 novembre scorso ha rapito il gruppo di cooperanti spagnoli in Mauritania, spiega nella nota il motivo per cui ha deciso di liberare solo la donna del gruppo. “Abbiamo deciso di rilasciarla dopo la sua conversione all’Islam – si legge – ora lei si chiama Aisha e i membri di al-Qaeda le hanno insegnato le fondamenta della dottrina islamica e la sua sharia”. Inoltre dal comunicato si spiega che a spingere i terroristi a liberare la donna siano state anche le sue precarie condizioni di salute. Al-Qaeda nel Maghreb islamico rinnova infine il suo appello al governo spagnolo affinche’ esaudisca le sue richieste come condizione per ottenere la liberazione degli altri cooperanti ancora nelle loro mani. “O popolo spagnolo – si legge – dovete fare pressioni sul vostro governo e spingerlo ad assumersi la responsabilita’ della vita degli altri ostaggi”. La Gomez e’ stata liberata due giorni fa e attraverso il Burkina Faso e’ subito rientrata in Spagna. Non si hanno invece notizie di di Philomene Kabore’, la moglie di Sergio Cicala, che non e’ stata ancora liberata. Dei due italiani rapiti non si fa alcuna menzione all’interno di quest’ultimo comunicato di al- ...
