...After renaming itself al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), the group quickly began targeting foreign interests in Algeria and warned that attacks abroad would follow.

...Bina, have since been identified by body parts and clothing found at the house. Many of the victims' torsos still have not been found, leading some investigators to speculate that the internal organs may have been harvested and sold.

It was both ghoulish and poignant to see the sex goddess in this post-mortem expos?, while her name was still in the headlines. It's eerie now to recall that whispers were already connecting her sexually with Jack Kennedy, subject of the lead picture story in Eros' previous issue, and with Bobby, who soon would prosecute the magazine...
