GSPC kills 2 in Algeria
2005-10-27
Algerian Islamic militants killed two people, including one policeman, and injured three others, stepping up attacks during the holy month of Ramadan despite a government offer of amnesty for hundreds of rebels, newspapers reported on Wednesday. Armed rebels stormed a coffee house and opened fire on a crowd, killing a policeman ad wounding a soldier late on Tuesday in Medea, some 150 km southwest of the capital Algiers, said national dailies Liberte and El Khabar. The militants then moved to a nearby market and shot dead a civilian and injured two others. Security forces launched a search operation and killed two attackers, newspapers said.
