Friday, December 25, 2009

ALGIERS, Dec. 25, 2009 (Xinhua News Agency) -- One government soldier was killed and two civilians injured in a roadside bombing on Friday in northeast Algeria, a local newspaper reported.

A home-made bomb was detonated near a village about 40 km east of the city of Tizi Ouzou, when a convoy of security forces was en route to its military operations against rebel militants, the French language daily El Watana reported.

One day earlier, a roadside bomb exploded and damaged a vehicle in the woods 50 km east of Tizi Ouzou. Hours later, security forces defused two other home-made bombs nearby.

Algerians face an increased threat by rebel militants since the 1990s. The security forces have recently launched massive military operations against them.
