Five soldiers, including two captains, were injured Monday (February 2nd) when a bomb exploded near their army convoy between Aghribs and Iflissen, about 40km north of Tizi-Ouzou, Tout sur l'Algerie reported. Another bomb exploded in the public park of Ain Zaouia, south of Tizi-Ouzou, around 11 pm Monday night. Security officers successfully disabled another bomb around 3 am on Tuesday.

In related news, Algerian security services dismantled a terrorist support network in Boumerdes province on Monday and arrested 12 people between the ages of 23 and 35, El Watan reported. The suspects are from Dellys, Baghlia, Thénia and Zemmouri. The arrests come just a few days after the surrender of Ali Ben Touati, the leader of Al Ansar terrorist brigade, who is also from Dellys.
