Algeria will finally begin issuing biometric passports next month, Liberte reported on Wednesday (December 21st). According to Interior Minister Daho Ould Kablia, the high-tech Algeria biometric passport is "perfect in terms of security". A test run of the issuance process will be conducted in 50 communities, he said, with priority given to those who have never had a passport.
In 2009, Algerian Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia said the passports would give Algeria an extra tool in the fight against "terrorism, illegal immigration and various forms of organized crime".
