Air flights and other road and maritime travels noticed a delay owing to careful control undertaken by security services in airports and harbours.

Moreover military check points strengthening in roads leading to airports and harbours, air and maritime travels from Algeria are expected to be submitted to the same extent of control measures by their arrival to the European territories, especially that Qaeda organization in the Islamic Maghreb has already threatened to undertake assaults on European states at the forefront France. In the same connection, the capital witnessed the reappearance of personal object control which almost disappeared; security also has been strengthened in principal entrances of official institutions while Algiers security services reinforced control over highways. |
