The Algerian Islamic Armed Movement or Islamic Armed Movement or Armed Islamic Movement (Template:Lang-fr Template:Lang-ar) (MIA) was an Islamic terrorist group active in Algeria in the 1980's. The group was founded by Mustafa Bouyali in 1981 or April 1982 or July 1982 after a confrontation with security services. The group, which carried out attacks against the government in the Larbaa region, was a loose association of small groups which Bouyali proclaimed himself the amir of. On August 27 or August 29, 1985, MIA insurgents headed by Bouyali, attacked a police school in Soumaâ, killing an officer and lotting the weapons and ammunition. The group of several hundred lasted for 5 years, until Bouyali was killed in February 1987 when found hiding in an Algiers kasbah. Other important MIA members were subsequently jailed, but released in 1989 due to political reforms.
