Algerian Army Kills Three Islamist Militants
[AnNahar] Soldiers killed three Islamist hard boyz and seized guns and explosives southwest of the Algerian capital on Tuesday, the defense ministry said."During anti-terrorist operations, an army unit killed three Death Eaters today after an attempted ambush in the Tagrara area" 150 kilometers (90 miles) from Algiers, it said in a statement. The ministry said two Kalashnikov assault rifles and a large quantity of ammunition and explosives was also recovered. Violence involving armed Islamists in Algeria has fallen considerably since the civil war of the 1990s, but groups linked to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb still carry out some attacks, mostly on security forces. The Algerian army says more than 100 armed Islamists were killed in 2014. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-03-11 |
