Algeria protests at new U.S. air security rules

This is just another case of to F**king bad !
Maybe if people of the Muslim world , stood up and helped stop Terrorists A little more than they do now , then we would not have the problems we have at the Airports !
Take it from someone who flies quite often recently , It is not fun going through security on a normal day , But Now it is even tougher , longer and more aggravating , Thanks to another Muslim Douchebag who just wanted to blow people up for the good of his Cult like religion !
So Algeria Sit and spin on this one !



ALGIERS (Reuters) - Algeria's foreign minister summoned the U.S. ambassador on Monday to protest at Algeria's inclusion on a list of countries whose flights bound for the United States will be subject to extra security checks, state media reported.

The North African country is fighting an al Qaeda-linked insurgency but the violence has subsided significantly in the past few years and officials say they have stringent security measures in place, especially at airports.

Algeria's inclusion on the list -- announced by Washington after a botched attempt to blow up a Christmas Day flight bound for Detroit -- was "inappropriate, unjustified and discriminatory," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

"The Foreign Minister, Mr. Mourad Medelci, has summoned the ambassador of the United States of America in Algiers to express to him the Algerian government's strong protest over this measure," the official APS news agency said.

Algeria, a mainly Muslim energy exporter, has cooperated with the United States in the fight against violent Islamist militants.

The 14 countries on the U.S. list are Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia and Yemen.

Cuba and Nigeria have also complained about their inclusion in the list.
