[MAGHAREBIA] Algerian security services dismantled a corpse-littered Boumerdes group allegedly behind the kidnappings of civilians, La Depeche de Kabylie reported on Monday (March 11th).Over the last fortnight, four suspects from Bordj Menaiel and Zemmouri reportedly provided information that helped security services foil a false roadblock and attempted kidnapping near Draa Ben Khedda.
Weapons, military uniforms and other equipment were seized in the operation, which netted another four suspects.
The judicial police are investigating the gang's possible connection to al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
