Algeria: Ten killed in Al-Qaeda ambush
2009-06-03
Al-Qaeda terrorists militants have been linked to an attack which killed two teachers and eight police escorts as they carried copies of exams from a centre near the Algerian capital, Algiers, late Tuesday.

Algerian media said Wednesday that the terrorists militants triggered a roadside bomb as the teachers were returning from a high school exam in Timezrit, 80 kilometres east of the capital, Algiers. The teachers' car was hit by the bomb, which also seriously injured the vehicle's driver and the manager of Timezrit's exam centre, said Ali Hadjeres, the town's deputy mayor. The terrorists militants then opened fire on the two police cars escorting them.

There was no immediate comment from Algerian security services on Wednesday. But the El-Watan and Liberte daily newspapers reported that a large army sweep was under way Wednesday in the suspected terrorist militant strongholds around Boumerdes, a larger town near Timezrit.
