ALGIERS, Algeria: The Algerian army killed 22 armed militants in an operation Tuesday some 100 kilometres (60 miles) east of the capital, the defence ministry said.
It said automatic weapons, ammunition and other weaponry were seized in the “anti-terrorist” operation in the Ferkioua area of Bouira province.
Militant-linked violence rocked the North African country in the 1990s but has since waned, although armed groups remain active in central and eastern Algeriawhere they mount attacks on security forces.
The army said it has now killed 56 armed militants since the start of the year.
