6 Algerians killed by Muslim militants
Extremist Muslim militants seeking to topple the Algerian regime have killed six civilians in the past two days, security sources said. A single gunman Tuesday killed three civilians, including a 17-year-old girl in the province of Shalaf in western Algeria, the sources said. They said unknown gunmen attacked an isolated farm in the province of Sidi Belabbas, 450 kilometers west of Algiers, killing three members of a family before fleeing Monday.
Could be either GIA or GSPC, though the GIAâs not said to be doing so hot these days so Iâm inclined to suspect the latter, especially given the nifty new bases theyâve decided to help al-Qaeda out with.
