Algerian thugs continue sectarian cleansing
2002-04-27
Two soldiers, two civilians and two Islamic extremists died in a surge of violence which has seen at least 20 others killed in Algeria in the past week, Algerian newspapers reported. The deaths come as the north African country begins gearing for legislative elections on May 30.

  • Two soldiers were killed and three of their colleagues injured in an ambush by psychopaths in Kabylie, about 100 kilometres (60 miles) east of Algiers.
  • A former policeman was killed Thursday at Thenia in southeastern Batna region, while an unidentified man was killed near Meftah just south of the capital on the same day.
  • Two crazed killers were iced -- one in eastern Algeria and one in the west -- in retaliatory attacks carried out by members of the security forces.
  • Late Friday, an official said four people were killed and three wounded overnight by an armed group in western Algeria.
    The utter hatred and the inhuman cruelty of the GAI and the Salafists makes Algeria's on-going festivities incomprehensible. And I think that's the heart of their "tactics." They're assuming people would rather be Wahhabis - Salafist is a synonym - than to see their wives' throats slit.
