Summary

"In the spring of 1996, militants of the Armed Islamic Group, today affiliated with Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network, broke into a Trappist monastery in war torn Algeria. Seven monks were taken hostage" and later killed. They were "martyrs to their love of their Muslim neighbors, whom they refused to desert in their hour of need."
