Five people, including three members of one family were killed Tuesday, March 8, by the explosion of a homemade bomb at their vehicle in the region of Djelfa (270 km south of Algiers) reported Wednesday the Algerian press. This attack, not claimed, is the deadliest in Algeria for more than five months.
The last major action attributed to armed Islamist groups in Algeria dates back to October 2010, when five soldiers were killed during a sweep of Islamist maquis in Kabylia. A local leader of Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, alias Abou Mourad Bouh Turabi, was also killed Monday night by the Algerian army in Bordj Menaïel, according to several newspapers.
The violence involving armed Islamists in Algeria mourns for two decades, but have significantly abated in the last five years. However, they persist in regions of Boumerdes and Tizi Ouzou in Kabylia, in the east, and are assigned to groups claiming to AQIM.
