The decomposing body of a missing Algerian MP has been found in the boot of his car in Paris. Abdelmalek Benbara, a member of the prime minister’s party, had been missing for nearly three weeks when his body was discovered on Wednesday, police sources said. He was taken to a Paris morgue, where an autopsy was to be carried out on Thursday. The politician’s ankles had been bound together. Mr Benbara “appeared to have died on the day of his disappearance”, a police source said. He was reported missing on 9 January after he failed to meet an appointment in Paris with a friend. His car was found to be unlocked. Police discovered Mr Benbara’s identity papers among his belongings. Mr Benbara, of the National Liberation Front, was elected to Algeria’s National Assembly last May. Full Story
