2008-05-13

Six soldiers have been killed in Medea province by a terror group belonging to region I in Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, while security sources said the operation targeted lifting the siege on terrorists being surrounded in Boumerdés fiefs.

Local sources in Derag area, situated between Medea and Ain Defla provinces, said a terrorist group composed of many elements has set up an ambush, Sunday evening, to an Army patrol, on the road linking Derag and Ain Dalia, western Medea.

The same sources mentioned that 6 soldiers have been killed in the attack, while the rest managed to survive following a short armed clash forcing the terrorist to withdraw.

So al-Q managed to kill six more Muslims, did they ...

The terrorists have managed confiscating weapons and uniforms of the dead soldiers, the sources said, quoting eyewitnesses, pointing out the uniforms are to be used by the terrorists in bogus checkpoints. However, military back ups immediately were sent to the site, while another armed clash had broken out with the terrorists inside a forest there, the same sources added.

Furthermore, terror groups expert in Medea told El Khabar that the abovementioned ambush was set by terrorists belonging to the first region in Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb activating in Medea and Ain Defla provinces. The same source said the attack was likely plotted by the emir of the first region, namely Assim Abu Hayane, the leader of the Sunnite Group for Preaching and Informing, which announced in 2004 the unity with the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, GSPC.
