Armed Islamic Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1345 words)
This group dispersed after his arrest that month, but the idea was revived in January 1993 by Abdelhak Layada, who declared his group independent of Chebouti and not obedient to his orders.
Under the leadership of Antar Zouabri, its longest serving "emir" (1996-2002), the GIA became a "takfirist" group, considering Algerian society to be in violation of Islamic precepts, therefore justifying the killing of members of that society as a form of purification of heretical elements.
The Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) splinter faction appears to have eclipsed the GIA since approximately 1998 and is currently assessed by the CIA to be the most effective armed group remaining inside Algeria.
Bloomsbury Group - definition of Bloomsbury Group in Encyclopedia (740 words)
The Bloomsbury group or Bloomsbury Set or just "Bloomsbury" as its adherents ("members" is probably too formal a designation) would generally refer to it, was an English group of artists and scholars that existed from around 1905 until around World War II.
The group began as an informal social assembly of recent Cambridge University graduates (four members had graduated in 1899, among them Thoby Stephen, Virginia Woolf's and Vanessa Bell's brother), meeting with relatives and acquaintances, mostly of their own generation.
The group certainly acted as a kind of safe haven for many of its homosexual, lesbian and/or bisexual members: also, almost as a rule, Bloomsberries had relations with more than one partner, mostly with partners of both sexes.
