Al-Qaeda mastermind in Skikda eliminated
 Joint security forces have eliminated the emir of Fath Al Mubin squad, namely, B. M and another well known terrorist T. M alias Legrat, in Kerkera municipality, Skikda province, eastern Algeria. Security forces have recuperated two Kalashnikovs in that operation, while still trapping a terrorist group inside a deserted house in the same area.The eliminated terrorists are among the oldest elements that joined the armed group GIA in the early 90's, and both of them are originated from Kerkera area, local sources told El Khabar. The same sources mentioned that joint security forces have set up an ambush to the two terrorists, following information revealing they were to head to an olive presse near Kerkera area at around 1 am of Saturday. Security forces surprised the two terrorists in the spot with firing them in bursts; the two parties entered into a short clash which ended by eliminating the two terrorists. Their bodies were transferred to Collo hospital, in Skikda, where they were identified, the same sources said, adding that a terrorist group is still trapped inside a deserted house in the same area, by joint security services. This operation is a painful blow from security forces to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, knowing that the eliminated terrorists used to belong to GIA before joining Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat GSPC, this latter is considered as the representative of Al-Qaeda in Algeria.
