| Nine guys playing football shot in Algeria, six dead |
| 2002-06-23 |
| Three gunmen fired on a group of youths playing soccer at an Algerian seaside resort, killing six and injuring three. The attack Saturday evening at Zeralda, a Mediterranean resort 30 kilometers west of Algiers, threatens to unsettle the start of Algeria's summer holiday season. One of the three injured was in a serious condition. The shootings took place near Zeralda's tennis club, where a similar attack last September killed seven people. "Mahmud, they are playing football!" "It is sinful. We must kill them!" |
