Two terrorists killed in Bir El Ater, Tebessa
[Ennahar] Two beturbanned goons were killed Sunday by the Algerian army in Bir El Ater in the province of Tebessa, about 640 km east of Algiers, said a security official.

The two terrorists, whose identity was not specified, were killed in a clash with soldiers in the forest of Djebel Labiod where the army has carried out for ten days a combing operation, according to this source.

Two soldiers were seriously maimed by the kaboom of a roadside kaboom Jan. 31 at the passing of a truck belonging to a military convoy that led the operation in the area deemed to be the stronghold of gangs, authors of deadly attacks in recent years in the east.

The army launched a search operation in the region of Tebessa and neighbouring department of Khenchla after locating the places where gangs were digging, the source said.
