2010-12-03 |
[Maghrebia] Algerian soldiers killed seven al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons close to the border with Niger, Tout sur l'Algerie quoted a security source as saying on Tuesday (November 30th). ANP troops intercepted the armed AQIM members on Monday night as they tried to enter Algerian territory aboard three all-terrain vehicles. A gunfire exchange continued for several hours. In another major clash with faceless myrmidons on Tuesday, Algerian soldiers successfully reopened the bridge on the road between Beni Houa in Chlef and Damous in Tipasa province. The bridge had been blocked by a terror group consisting of some 30 men, sources said. The army used tanks and helicopter gunships in a "long and violent" clash. No casualties among the ANP soldiers were reported. |
