[Ynet] Algerian army troops killed 21 armed Islamic bandidos bully boyz who were meeting Tuesday in a forest to plan attacks on the country's capital, a ranking gendarmerie official said.
The official said that two others were captured in the assault on the group meeting in the Boukram forest in corpse-littered Boumerdes, some 20 kilometers (about 13 miles) from Algiers. A dozen Kalashnikovs, three rocket launchers and dozens of homemade bombs were recovered. It was the deadliest assault on bandidos bully boyz in recent times in Algeria where al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, or AQIM, carries out sporadic attacks east of Algiers. |
