Algerian governor escapes Al-Qaeda assassination
2013-04-06
[MAGHAREBIA] Medea wali Brahim Merad on Wednesday (April 3rd) survived an liquidation attempt by al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons in the Algerian city of Mezghena.

Terrorists opened fire on coppers who were securing the route for the governor's convoy going to an event. One police officer was killed and two others were maimed and were taken to a hospital in Tablat.

There are conflicting reports as to what happened, El Watan noted. One of the newspaper's sources said that faceless myrmidons started shooting into a crowd of people they thought were surrounding the governor.
