Two military men killed in Algeria

Two Algerian military men were killed last Friday at the hands of an armed group in Boukerdan town, situated 40 Km from the capital Algiers, according to the Algerian dailies.

The papers explained that two sedan cars took the mountainous routes to avoid public works on the road linking the capital to the east part of the country, and as a result, they were trapped by an ambush implanted by 20 described to be Islamists who installed a false security barrier. The gunmen opened fire at one Algerian soldier and a member of the republican guard after inspecting their identity.

On the other hand, the Algerian French daily Le Mattain said that the Algerian army killed on Thursday and Friday two gunmen in the Mountainous area of Gleizan, 300 Km to the west of the capital.

The number of dead increased to 46 since the beginning of February who were killed in acts of armed violence in Algeria.
