The Assault

Saturday, December 24, 1994. Four GIA terrorists hijack an Air France A300 Airbus at Algiers International Airport. The Airbus is carrying 227 passengers on its way to Paris. Nobody knows what the terrorists' intentions are; all they know is that they are armed and determined. They demand the release of their "brothers in arms" and the immediate takeoff of the aircraft. The plane is finally allowed to depart after lengthy and tense negotiations between the French and Algerian governments. At the heart of the action are three main characters: a member of the GIGN, Carole Jeanton, an ambitious technocrat willing to go to any length to gain personal gain from the events, and Yahia Abdallah, a determined jihadist who grew up in Algiers' slums and was being manipulated by an obscure GIA envoy, Ali Touchent.
