In retaliation to a sentence pronounced against nine Sahrawis from the Rguibat and At Oussa tribes for an alleged drug trafficking, a group of youths riding all-terrain vehicles stormed a military checkpoint placed under the joint command of the Polisario and the Algerian gendarmerie in the so-called 6th Polisario military zone, near the Laayoune refugee camp. The attackers tied up two sentinels who were guarding the post, took their firearms and ammunition before they fled on board of their vehicles. The Polisario armed militia called to the rescue conducted a sweep operation in the camp but could not get identify the attackers nor recover the stolen weapons. No violence was reported. |
