| Algerian Islamic rebels have killed four peasants in a village 80 km south of the capital, state radio said on Saturday, as the bulk of the country's militants took part in surrender talks. State radio said the four were killed in a rare daytime attack on Friday as they ploughed their fields in Draa Tmar in the province of Medea, a centre of rebel activity. Some 30 civilians and officials were killed in April by militants fighting for a Taliban-style state in Muslim Algeria, according to Algerian newspaper reports. |
