| Description |
A group of gunmen has killed four "patriot" officers (paramilitary group funded by the state to help in the fight against terrorism) on a road between Batna and Setif in north-eastern Algeria. The group shot at a convoy the officers were travelling in, which set the car on fire, killing the officers on board. The group was reportedly composed of 10 individuals who shot at the convoy and killed three officers, while the fourth officer fled. This officer was then followed by the group and shot dead. AQIM later claimed responsibility for this attack. |
