| [Ennahar] Three people including a soldier and a policeman, were killed Tuesday and Wednesday in two distinct attacks in Algeria attributed to Al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), according to a hospital and a newspaper source. A policeman pegged out Wednesday in the morning in an attack against a passenger vehicle on which he was travelling in Tala Bounane, near the town of blood-stained Tizi Ouzou (110 km east of Algiers ), in Kabylia, according to a local hospital source. The driver of the vehicle was killed instantly in the attack attributed to members of AQIM. Two coppers who were on board another vehicle were also injured in the attack. Tuesday, a soldier was killed and five maimed by a bomb kaboom while their convoy was passing in Thénia in the region of corpse-littered Boumerdes (50 km east of Algiers), according to the daily El Watan Online, attributed to the movement of AQIM. Since the beginning of Ramadan on August 1, regarded as conducive to jihad by terrorist groups, the regions of blood-stained Tizi Ouzou and corpse-littered Boumerdes are the target of several attacks attributed by the press to AQIM. Sunday, more than thirty people including two Chinese had been injured in a suicide kaboom against a cop shoppe in the center of the city of blood-stained Tizi Ouzou. |
