Military operations nationwide throughout the month of Ramadan thwarted numerous schemes under Islamist guerrilla leadership by Abdelmalek Droukdel to intensify attacks during Ramadan. Tactics to combat armed actor attacks included precise military operations, dismantling support and assignment networks, and the arrest of armed actors who were planning to carry out armed actor attacks in the capital. AQIM, however, claims it killed or injured 80 military members and civilians in 29 separate attacks and bombings over the past two months, though the Algerian media estimates around half that amount. |
