                          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

         This Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 20, 2003 ("this
Agreement"), between Algiers Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Algiers"), Algiers Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Algiers ("Algiers Merger Co.") and Command International
Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

                              Preliminary Statement

         Algiers' common stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Algiers Common
Stock"), is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). Algiers files reports and other documents required to be filed
with the SEC under the rules and regulations of the SEC. Algiers has no business
operations. Algiers is what is commonly referred to as a "public shell" company
formed for the specific purpose of acquiring, through a merger or other business
combination, an operating company seeking the perceived advantages of becoming a
"public company".

         The Company and Algiers will enter into a business combination
transaction as a result of which the Company will merge with and into Algiers
Merger Co. (the "Merger"), with Algiers Merger Co. continuing as the surviving
corporation, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement.

         The board of directors of each of the Company, Algiers and Algiers
Merger Co. has determined that the Merger would be fair to and in the best
interests of their respective stockholders and have approved this Agreement and
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein set forth, and for
the purpose of prescribing the terms and conditions of the Merger, the parties
agree as follows:

                             ARTICLE 1 - THE MERGER

1.1.     The Merger.

                  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement and compliance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General
Corporation Law ("Delaware Law"), at the Effective Time (as such term is defined
in Section 1.3), the Company shall be merged with and into Algiers Merger Co.,
the separate corporate existence of the Company shall cease and Algiers Merger
Co. shall continue as the surviving corporation and shall succeed to and assume
all of the rights, properties, franchises, liabilities and obligations of the
Company in accordance with Delaware Law and this Agreement. Algiers Merger Co.,
as the surviving Delaware corporation with the operating business of the Company
after the Merger, is sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving
Corporation."

2.2 No Fractional Shares.

         No fractional shares of Algiers Common Stock shall be issued in
connection with the payment of the Merger Consideration.

         At the Effective Time, Algiers shall assume the Company's obligations
with respect to then outstanding options, as set forth on Schedule 2.3 attached
hereto, to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, in which and by which
assumption each optionee, upon exercise of an option in accordance with its
terms, shall acquire that number of shares of Algiers Common Stock that optionee
would have acquired had such optionee exercised the subject option immediately
prior to the Effective Time, giving effect to the Merger Consideration.

2.4. Surrender of Certificates.

         (a) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time,
certificates representing the Company Common Stock (each, a "Company Stock

certificate representing the number of shares of Algiers Common Stock that the
shares of Company Common Stock evidenced by such surrendered Company Stock
Certificate have been converted into the right to receive, giving effect to the
Merger Consideration, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be
delivered to the Algiers for cancellation. Until so surrendered, each
outstanding Company Stock Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time,
evidenced ownership of shares of Company Common Stock will be deemed from and
after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to represent solely the
right to receive Algiers Common Stock and the holder of such Company Common
Stock shall not be entitled to vote or receive any dividend or other
distribution payable to holders of shares of Algiers Common Stock; provided,
however, that, upon the surrender of such Company Stock Certificate in exchange
for certificate(s) representing shares of Algiers Common Stock, there shall be
paid to the record holder of the certificate(s) representing Algiers Common
Stock issued upon such exchange, the amount of dividends or other distributions
which theretofore became payable and were not paid with respect to the number of
shares of Algiers Common Stock represented by the certificate(s) issued upon
such surrender. In no event shall the persons entitled to receive such dividends
or distributions be entitled to receive interest thereon.

         (b) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 2.4, none of the Surviving Corporation, Algiers or the Company shall be
liable to a holder of Company Common Stock which or whom has not been located by
any reasonable means of communication for at least five years for any amount
properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned
property, escheat or similar law.

2.5. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.

         All shares of Algiers Common Stock issued in exchange for shares of
Company Common Stock as Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all

or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or
destroyed Company Stock Certificate, upon receiving notice from the holder
thereof before the Effective Time and upon the making of an affidavit in such
form as is acceptable to the Company and Algiers of that fact by such holder, a
new Company Stock Certificate evidencing such shares of Company Common Stock
subject to such notice and affidavit; provided, however, that the Company, as a
condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may require the owner of such lost,
stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as
Algiers may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made
with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.7. Tax and Accounting Consequences.

         It is intended by the parties to this Agreement that the Merger shall
constitute a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B)

         If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is

3.1  Dissenters' Rights.

         Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any
shares of Company Common Stock ("Dissenting Shares") held by a holder who has
demanded and perfected appraisal or dissenters' rights for such Dissenting
Shares in accordance with Delaware Law and who, as of the Effective Time, has
not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal or dissenters' rights, shall
not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but shall
only be entitled to such dissenters' rights as are granted by Delaware Law.

3.2  Effect of Withdrawal or Loss of Dissenters' Rights.

         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1, if any holder of shares
of Company Common Stock who demands appraisal of such shares under Delaware Law

right to appraisal, then, as of the later of the (i) Effective Time and (ii)
occurrence of such withdrawal or loss, such holder's shares shall automatically

Stock in accordance with Sections 2.1 and 2.2.

into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company, subject only to the approval of the
Merger by the Company's stockholders. The Company's Board of Directors has

such interest ((i) and (ii) herein collectively referred to as the "Company

Effect on the Company. The Company is in material compliance with all applicable
laws, statutes, orders, rules and regulations of any applicable governmental
entity or other regulatory agency relating to it except where the failure to do
so would not have a Material Adverse Effect and the Company has not received
notice of any violations of any of the above.

prior to the Effective Time:

         (a) by mutual consent of the Company and Algiers;

         (b) by Algiers or the Company, if (i) the Effective Time has not
occurred by April 15, 2003 (provided that the right to terminate this Agreement
under this clause (i) to Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party
whose willful or reckless failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder has been
the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or
before such date), (ii) there shall be a final non-appealable order of a federal
or state court in effect preventing consummation of the Merger, (iii) there
shall be any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued
or deemed applicable to the Merger by any governmental entity that would make
consummation of the Merger illegal or (iv) if any of the conditions precedent to
Closing set forth in this Agreement have not been met and have not been waived
in writing by the party whose consent is required;

         (c) by Algiers or the Company, if there shall be any action taken, or
any statute, rule, regulation or order enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed
applicable to the Merger, by any governmental entity, which would (i) prohibit
Algiers's or the Company's ownership or operation of any material portion of the
business of the Company or Algiers, (ii) compel Algiers or the Company to
dispose of or hold separate, as a result of the Merger, any material portion of
the business or assets of the Company or Algiers, or (iii) prohibit or adversely
affect the trading market for Algiers Common Stock;

         (d) by Algiers, if it is not in material breach of its obligations
under this Agreement and there has been a material breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of the
Company and as a result of such breach the conditions set forth in Sections 8.2
(a) or Paragraph 8.2(b), as the case may be, would not then be satisfied;
provided, however, that if such breach is curable by the Company within ten days
after the giving of written notice by Algiers of such breach through the
exercise of the Company's reasonable best efforts, then for so long as the
Company continues to exercise such reasonable best efforts Algiers may not
terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(d) unless such breach is not
cured within ten days (but no cure period shall be required for a breach which
by its nature cannot be cured);

         (e) by the Company, if it is not in material breach of its obligations
under this Agreement and there has been a material breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of
Algiers or Algiers Merger Co. and as a result of such breach the conditions set
forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), as the case may be, would not then be
satisfied; provided, however, that if such breach is curable by Algiers or
Algiers Merger Co. within ten days after the giving of written notice by the
Company of such breach through the exercise of Algiers' or Algiers Merger Co.'s
reasonable best efforts, then for so long as Algiers or Algiers Merger Co.
continues to exercise such reasonable best efforts the Company may not terminate
this Agreement under this Section 9.1(e), unless such breach is not cured within
ten days (but no cure period shall be required for a breach which by its nature
cannot be cured);


                                       23
<PAGE>

         (f) by Algiers, if the Company fails to obtain the requisite vote of
its stockholders required to approve the Merger under Delaware Law;

         (g) by Algiers or the Company, if it is not in initial breach of its
obligations under this Agreement and any of the conditions set forth in Section
8.1 have not been satisfied;

         (h) by Algiers or the Company, if the CIG Agreement cannot be closed in
accordance with it terms.

         Where action is taken to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 9.1, it shall be sufficient for such action to be authorized by the
Board of Directors of the party taking such action.

9.2. Effect of Termination.

         In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section
9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and, except as set forth herein,
there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Algiers, Algiers Merger
Co., or the Company, or their respective officers, directors or stockholders;
provided, however, that each party shall remain liable for any breaches of this
Agreement prior to its termination; and provided, further, that, the provisions
of this Section 9.2 and Sections 10.8, 10.9 and 10.13 of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement.

9.3. Amendment.

         Except as is otherwise required by applicable law, this Agreement may
be amended by the parties hereto at any time, but only by an instrument in
writing signed by or validly on behalf of each of the parties to this Agreement.

9.4. Extension, Waiver.

         At any time prior to the Effective Time, Algiers and Algiers Merger
Co., on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, may, to the extent legally
allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of
the other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and
warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered
pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or
conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the
part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if
set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The
failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any
provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such party at a later
time to enforce the same or any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of
any condition or of the breach of any term in this Agreement in one or more
instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver
of such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the breach
of any other term of this Agreement.

10.3. Interpretation.

         The words "include," "includes" and "including" when used herein shall
be deemed in each case to be followed by the words "without limitation." The
word "agreement" when used herein shall be deemed in each case to mean any
contract, commitment or other agreement, whether oral or written, that is
legally binding. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference
purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement. When reference is made herein to "the business of" an entity,
such reference shall be deemed to include the business of all direct and
indirect subsidiaries of such entity. Reference to the subsidiaries of an entity
shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect subsidiaries of such entity.

10.4. Counterparts.

         This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of
which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective
when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and
delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign
the same counterpart.

10.5. Entire Agreement.

         This Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, and the documents
and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto referenced herein:
(a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings,
both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or
remedies hereunder.


                                       26
<PAGE>

10.6. Severability.

         In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application
thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in
full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the
parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable
provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will
achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of
such void or unenforceable provision.

10.7. Other Remedies.

         Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein
expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not
exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such
party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the
exercise of any other remedy.

10.8. Specific Performance.

         The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the
event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is
accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or
injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically
the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state
having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they
are entitled at law or in equity.

10.9. Governing Law.

         This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise
govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof, provided that
issues involving the corporate governance of any of the parties hereto shall be
governed by their respective jurisdictions of incorporation. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by
the laws of the State of New York, and that such process may be served outside
the state of New York, for such persons and waives and covenants not to assert
or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such jurisdiction and
such process.

10.10. Rules of Construction.

         The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel
during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the
application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing
that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the
party drafting such agreement or document.

10.11. Assignment.

         No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights,
interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the
other parties hereto. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.



                                       27

10.12. Absence of Third Party Beneficiary Rights.

         No provisions of this Agreement are intended, nor shall be interpreted,
to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of
any kind in any client, customer, affiliate, partner of any party hereto or any
other person or entity unless specifically provided otherwise herein.

10.13. Mediation and Arbitration.

         If any dispute, controversy or claim arises in connection with the
performance or breach of this Agreement between the parties, a party hereto may,
upon written notice to the other parties, request facilitated negotiations. Such
negotiations shall be assisted by a neutral facilitator acceptable to all
parties and shall require the best efforts of the parties to discuss with each
other in good faith their respective positions and, respecting their different
interests, to finally resolve such dispute.

         A party may disclose any facts to the other parties or to the
facilitator which such party believes, in good faith, to be necessary to resolve
the dispute. All such disclosures shall be deemed in furtherance of settlement
efforts and thus confidential. Except as agreed to by all parties, the
facilitator shall keep confidential all information disclosed during the
negotiations. The facilitator shall not act as a witness for either party in any
subsequent arbitration between the parties. Such facilitated negotiations shall
conclude within sixty days from receipt of the written notice, unless extended
by mutual consent of the parties. The costs incurred by each party in such
negotiations shall be borne by it. Any fees or expenses of the facilitator shall
be borne equally by all parties.

         If any dispute, controversy or claim arises in connection with the
performance or breach of this Agreement which cannot be resolved by facilitated
negotiations, then such dispute, controversy or claim shall be settled by
arbitration in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the then
current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association,
except that no pre-hearing discovery will be permitted unless specifically
authorized by the arbitration panel. The confidentiality provisions applicable
to facilitated negotiations shall also apply to arbitration.

         The award issued by the arbitration panel may be confirmed in a
judgment by any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction. All reasonable
costs of both parties, as determined by the arbitration panel, including (i) the
fees and expenses of the American Arbitration Association and of the arbitration
panel, and (ii) the costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred to
confirm the award in court, shall be borne entirely by the non-prevailing party
(to be designated by the arbitration panel in the award) and may not be
allocated between the parties by the arbitration panel.

10.14.  Schedule Disclosure.

                  Disclosure on one schedule, attachment or document provided
pursuant to any paragraph or subparagraph of this Agreement shall be deemed
disclosure under any other applicable paragraph or subparagraph of this
Agreement.
