15 persons killed and injured in Algerian violence

Nine persons were killed while another five were injured in a bomb by an armed group on the way near from Jijel, east of Algiers.

The Algerian Sahafa newspaper said a bomb exploded on Sunday in Ain Defla west of Algiers, due to which a 14 year-old shepherd was killed.

The security forces killed three extremists and confiscated two firearms, as well a hand grenade and other explosives.

The three extremists belong to a group that included three others who were killed by security forces on Saturday in the El-Sononbeer El-Bahri area, east of Algiers.
