Algerian Sweep Kills 25 Suspected Islamists
|
[AnNahar] Algerian soldiers rubbed out three Islamist bandidos bandidos Death Eaters Wednesday, raising to 25 the number of suspects killed in a sweep east of the capital where jihadists operate, the defense ministry said.
The ministry said "three terrorists" armed with automatic weapons were killed.
Twenty-two armed Islamists were killed on Tuesday, the first day of a vast operation in the mountainous Ferkioua area of Bouira province, according to the ministry.
It said automatic weapons, ammunition and other weaponry were seized.
A security source told AFP the army was keeping up the operation "to neutralize other members of the gang".
The sweep was launched on the back of information of a large group of bandidos bandidos Death Eaters in the area, a zone of operations of Jund el-Khilafa, a local affiliate of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
jihadist group that beheaded a French tourist in September.
A judicial source said experts were trying to determine if the dead bandidos bandidos Death Eaters were members of Jund al-Khilafa or of Al-Qaeda's North African branch.
Jund al-Khilafa bandidos bandidos Death Eaters kidnapped and beheaded mountain guide Herve Gourdel in September 2013 in Kabylie, east of Algiers, in retaliation for La Belle France participating in U.S.-led air strikes against IS in Iraq.
Its leader Abdelmalik Gouri was killed in an army operation last December in Issers, 60 kilometers (35 miles) east of the capital.
The army says it has now killed 59 armed Islamists since the start of this year.
Islamist-linked violence rocked Algeria in the 1990s but has since waned, although gangs remain active in central and eastern Algeria where they mount attacks on security forces.
