2005-05-11 |
ALGIERS, Algeria, May 11 (UPI) -- Algerian army troops killed a Muslim fundamentalist gunman and injured another in a clash in eastern Algeria, reports said Wednesday. French-language daily Le Quotidien Du Rhone said the clash took place Tuesday night in Baghlia, 80 kilometers (50 miles) east of Algiers. One of the three gunmen was killed and another injured but managed to escape, the paper said. It said the army seized an automatic rifle and hand grenades the two gunmen dropped before fleeing. They seem to be having trouble counting. |
