Set up 1 km east of Arhat municipality, wilaya of Tipaza. Two other citizens and two soldiers have been wounded during the armed fighting with the terrorists. The clash lasted until 2:00 a.m., yesterday, before the group runs away toward the neighbouring forest. According to well informed sources a terrorist group, whose members’ number is still unknown, surprised the communal guards in charge of the guard of the summer camp that belonged to Algerian company Naftal. Four communal guards, and a security agent, have been killed during the clash taking place inside the camp. Their terrorists took over their arms before leaving. It was 10:15 p.m. when a terrorist group made incursion in the camp set up on the side of the national road 11 in which there were 50 families from the various parts of the country, the terrorists were heavily armed with grenades and automatic weapons. As soon as they heard the terrorists suspect movement, the families took refuge in a building; one of the communal guards was helping them to reach the building when he was shot down before having the throat cut under the sight of the families, in the direction of which a series of gunshots were fired. The same families told us they had their money and jewellery taken over, under death threat; they also attacked a shop inside the camp and took a large quantity of foodstuff. Same sources said the group was made up of young terrorists under 26 years old, speaking with western Algeria accent. The death toll could have been heavier, should not be the intervention of the army, our interlocutors said. Many women and young girls told us the army intervention saved them from being raped or kidnapped. A. Brahim — El-Khabar | ||||||||||||||||||
