Algeria Says Two Terrorists Killed in Army Operation

[AlManar] The Algerian army killed two armed and “dangerous” terrorists on Thursday in the Skikda region east of the capital, the defense ministry said.

Kalashnikov assault rifles and ammunition were seized during the operation in the Oued Zhour area of Skikda, the ministry said.

It identified the men only as Habbach, also known as Abou Doujana, and Benaldjia who went by the name of Abderrahman.

Algerian media named the first man as Saddek Habbach, the “emir” or leader in eastern Algeria of Jund al-Khilafa extremist movement which is linked to the jihadist ISIL group.

Jund al-Khilafa, or Soldiers of the Caliphate, has claimed responsibility for the abduction and murder two years ago in the Kabylie region east of Algiers of French mountain guide Herve Gourdel.

More than 100 suspected extremists have been killed in army operations in Algeria since the beginning of the year, according to an AFP count compiled from official statements.
