alive and well and was leading the fighting themselves. "

Dubai (Reuters)-the Commander of Al-Qaida in Algeria Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who was reported killed by the Chadian army, still alive, said one contributor reports monitoring service that tracks militant online forums on Sunday.

An unidentified participant in the discussions said guerrillas in one site posted in several forums, that Belmoktar is still "alive and well and was leading his own battle", said a monitoring service SITE based in the u.s., reports Reuters.

That message says, Belmokhtar, the mastermind behind the alleged hostage in one of the Algerian gas plant in January, will soon issue a confirmation message that news, said the report SITE.

The death of Belmokhtar, nicknamed ' uncatchable ' (cannot be captured), has been reported several times in the past.

On Saturday, Chad says its forces have killed him in equal parts of Mali that they admit has killed Adelhamid Abou Zeid, a senior commander of Al Qaeda in the Sahara, a few days earlier.

The murder of Belmokhtar and Abou Zeid, if confirmed, would wipe out the Al Qaida leader in Mali and raised questions over the fate of the seven hostages held by France which is expected to group in this country.

Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has promised to retaliate against France's attack fighters in Mali, which said that the Paris attack was launched to prevent the former colonies became a springboard for Al Qaida attack.

Online participants did not show how he studied the status of the Belmoktar, said the report SITE.

Ahrar party Press, the independent Arab media organisations, also reported that one source in the Group Belmoktar discredits the death of Al Qaida figures, according to SITE. (AK)

After Facebook Campaign, Jack the Cat Found Alive at JFK Airport

Here's some news to warm your little cat-loving hearts: Jack the cat is safe and sound.

Jack is the tabby cat whose owner, Karen Pasco, had checked him into the American Airlines baggage area at New York's JFK Airport before she boarded a flight to escape Hurricane Irene back in August. However, in preparation for the storm, parts of the airport were closed down and Jack somehow got loose from his cargo cage. One extended search and an angry Facebook group later, still no trace of Jack could be found.

Until late Tuesday night, that is: an employee found the missing feline in an airport customs room. The cat has been taken to a Queens veterinarian hospital where's he's being treated for dehydration.

American Airlines has issued a public apology to Pasco and Jack, and even offered the cat a free flight to California to be reunited with his owner. However, after his ordeal, we can't imagine Jack wants to go near an airport anytime soon.
