Adlene Hicheur (born 4 December 1976) is a particle physicist with dual Algerian and French citizenship. He then joined the high energy physics department of Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) and works currently on the LHCb experiment. The LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty) experiment is one of eight particle physics detector experiments collecting data at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. General director of the National Police Frederic Pechenard stated in November 2009 that Hicheur planned to attack a base of the National Defence in Annecy, which harbours the 27eme bataillon de chasseurs alpins, involved in Afghanistan.
