Suspected Islamic terrorists kill 10 in Algeria
Suspected Islamic terrorists killed 10 people in separate incidents in Algeria, security sources said on Monday. In the capital, Algiers, two policemen were shot dead late on Saturday during celebrations of a Moslem religious holiday. The daily Le Matin said the killers belonged to the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat and denies reports that its members are surrendering and giving up the revolt on its internet website. Algerian media reports recently said that about 300 Islamic insurgents had surrendered to security forces, thereby largely putting an end to the organised rebellion that has taken about 150,000 lives in Algeria since 1992. In another incident, two soldiers were killed and an unspecified number were injured when suspected rebels detonated a bomb near a military convoy in Bouira, about 100km east of Algiers. Six civilians were also killed in two incidents in Medea, 90km west of Algiers, and Relizane, 300km west of the capital, by groups of suspected Islamic terrorists.Posted by: TS(vice girl) 2004-05-03 |
