Algerian Snuffies Kill 23 Before Poll
Suspected Islamic rebels have killed 23 civilians in western Algeria hours before a parliamentary election began on Thursday in the North African country. The victims were all nomad people killed overnight in Sendjas village in Chlef province, 112 miles west of Algiers. The bodies of three of the murdered nomads were set ablaze. The massacre was the latest in a series of killings of civilians and members of government forces in the past few weeks. This being Algeria, I'm surprised the numbers are so low.
