==History==

Tamanrasset originated as the centre of a network of camel caravan trading routes from Kano, Lake Chad, Gao, Agades and Zinder.〔John Gunther, "Inside Africa" Hamish Hamilton, page132〕 When Algeria was under French rule the town was established as a military post, originally named Fort Laperrine, after General François-Henry Laperrine:fr:François-Henry Laperrine〕 who died in the desert nearby.
Charles de Foucauld was shot to death outside his Tamanrasset compound by Sermi ag Thora under the command of El Madani ag Soba on December 1, 1916.〔Fleming, Fergus. ''The Sword and the Cross: Two Men and an Empire of Sand.'' New York: Grove Press, 2003.〕
On 13 February 1960, during the Algerian War, Gerboise Bleue - the first French nuclear test - detonated in the middle of the Algerian Sahara desert, located about 800 km southwest of Tamanrasset.〔(French Senate report #179: The first French tests in the Sahara )〕
In 2003 Air Algérie Flight 6289 crashed in the city.
In 2010, the oasis town is the site of the Joint Military Staff Committee headquarters for combating Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb. The four-country Committee (Algeria, Mali, Niger, Mauritania) intends to use Tamanrasset to coordinate their military activity in the Pan-Sahel.
