3 dead in Algeria violence
Two security forces and a Muslim gunman were killed in a clash in western Algeria in the latest violence in the Arab country, reports said Tuesday. The French-language daily Liberte quoted security sources as saying a local police patrol clashed with a group of gunmen in the province of Ghlisan, 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of Algiers, Monday night, resulting in the killing of two policemen and a militant. In another incident, army troops exchanged fire with Muslim gunmen in the region of al-Nasiriya, east of Algiers last week, without causing casualties. But the army was able to dismantle road bombs and explosive charges planted by the militants in the area, security sources said.Posted by: Steve 2004-11-09 |
