| ALGIERS, Algeria, April 19 (UPI) -- Algerian troops killed a Muslim extremist gunman and wounded two others in addition to dismantling a cell providing logistic support to armed groups. French-language daily Liberte Tuesday quoted local sources in the province of Anaba, 500 kilometers (312 miles) east of Algiers, as saying the army rounded up 10 members of a support network for the gunmen. It said the arrests took place several days ago, following the detentions of six Tunisians and an Algerian in the same region who had planned to join the Salafi Group for Daawa and Fighting, Algeria's most dangerous armed group. In another incident, the army clashed with gunmen in the province of Mediya in western Algeria, killing one and injuring two others. |
