How serious is ISIL threat for Algeria?

Failure of the Bouteflika administration to eradicate extremism led to the rise of Jund al-Khalifa, analysts say. Djamila Ould Khettab  : 16 Oct 2014 | http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/10/how-serious-isil-threat-algeria-2014101661651220381.html

The Algerian extremist group Jund al-Khalifa - Arabic for Soldiers of the Caliphate - was little known before it released a video message showing the execution of French hostage Herve Gourdel on September 24. The obscure Islamic cell abducted  the 55-year-old French mountain guide days earlier while he was hiking with five Algerian friends in Kabylie, a mountainous region in northeastern Algeria. The abduction was announced on September 22 via a YouTube video showing Gourdel flanked by two hooded men with Kalashnikov rifles, who said they were responding to the call of Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, spokesperson for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
