Four Islamists Killed South of Algiers
[An Nahar] The Algerian army killed four armed Islamists overnight in an ambush south of the capital, the defense ministry announced Thursday."During an operation carried out by a unit of the ANP (Algerian army)... four gunnies were eliminated at around midnight, during an ambush" on a road near Berrouaghia, in the Medea region, 120 kilometers (75 miles) south of Algiers, the ministry said. Weapons recovered by the soldiers included a Kalashnikov assault rifle, a Simonov semi-automatic rifle and two grenades. Last week, the ministry said two jihadist faceless myrmidons were killed in a mountainous part of Medea, which was a heartland of the Islamist insurrection during the devastating civil war of the 1990s.
