For three consecutive days, the town of Ghardaia has experienced unrest due to intercommunal clashes. Several houses, stores, and cars have been destroyed, others burned completely. The violence began in the Theniet El-Makhzen district last week and spread quickly to other places to finally settle in the El-Kaouty district. The clashes were triggered when unknown young people, arriving in large numbers, attacked the El-Kaouty district in the evening and smashed the windows of cars belonging to inhabitants as well as setting fire to several houses. These facts caused the citizens to come out to defend their property, resulting in sharp clashes between the two parties and then with the security forces that intervened and tried in vain to control the situation. |

Algerian forces killed three militants just east of Algiers in a counter-insurgency sweep, raising the total slain over the past two days to 25. The army continued its sweeps and killed three others who had escaped the initial attack and fled south through the rugged terrain. Algeria has been battling the local branch of al-Qaida for years but most of their operations have been restricted to attacks on security forces in the rugged central mountains. Security sources said that the leader oj Jund Al Khilafa, Bachir Kherza (also known as Abou Abdellah Al Assimi), was among the 25 militants killed by the army on 19 and 20 May in Bouira. |
