- Share via
ALGIERS — Gunmen shot and killed two civilians in separate attacks in Algiers over a two-day period, the official Algerian news agency APS said Saturday.
Police described the killers as “terrorists,” the official term for Muslim fundamentalists who are blamed for killing more than 210 members of the security forces last year.
Three men gunned down trader Mosleh Thaljat, 41, outside his shop in Hussein Dey, a fundamentalist bastion, Thursday.
The second victim, 23, who was not identified, was killed in another southern suburb, Eucalyptus, Friday night.
Last year about a dozen civilians were killed in similar fashion.
