Algeria Threatened By Youth Unrest

CAIRO [MENL] -- Algeria, apparently successful in foiling the Islamic insurgency campaign, faces another threat -- rising unrest by the vast numbers of unemployed youth.

Algerian security forces have been bracing for violent protests by the nation's young unemployed. The anger was said to have been exploited by Al Qaida, which has blamed the joblessness on the huge expatriate labor force in Algeria.
