A policeman killed while trying to defuse a bomb in Boumerdes
2010-09-24
[Ennahar] A policeman was murdered Tuesday afternoon when a roadside bomb he was attempting to defuse exploded in the Boumerdes region.

The bomb was discovered on a road linking the nearby towns of Zemmouri and Si Mustapha by road workers. The policeman who was part of an EOD team died of his wounds in a hospital in the capital where he had been evacuated.

Boumerdes is one of the most affected regions by the attacks, several groups claiming allegiance to Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb are particularly active.
Thank goodness we know those who follow the Al-Qaeda way will end up in Hell with devils roasting their intestines over the coals, and those they kill will end up in Paradise as martyrs. May that thought bring comfort to those who loved this man.
Earlier in the day, two coppers were killed and three non-combatants maimed by the kaboom of a bomb in the center of the nearby town of Bordj Menaiel.
Al Qaeda: making friends of the locals wherever they appear.

#2  When they hate, they tattle to the authorities, Glenmore. And if it gets bad enough they then they form Sons of __ organizations to fight back. In Iraq there were stories of Al Qaeda serving the father a delicious casserole of his kidnapped son to keep him in line. That kind of thing (or even rumours of that kind of thing) poisons the sea of the local population in which the terrorists must swim.

Somebody once said 'It does not matter if they like, so long as they fear.'
