Anti-Terror-Operation in Algerien:

Algeria kills 14 militants in eastern clashes

Algerian troops have killed at least 14 armed militants in the past two days in an operation in an eastern region known as a former stronghold for hardline militants, the Defence Ministry said in a statement yesterday.

Troops ambushed and killed five militants on Wednesday and have since killed nine more during the operation by the army in the Bouira province, around 70 kilometres east of the capital Algiers, the statement said. [...] Violence has declined in Algeria since a peace was agreed in the early 2000s. However, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and small bands of militants allied to the Daesh extremist group have been active in some remote mountains and in the southern desert border regions.
