Algerian army said Sunday that another militant was killed in the upper hills of the provinces of Boumerdes and Tizi Ouzou east of Algiers. "Following the combing of the region, a second militant was killed on Saturday, while his riffle and three bombs were recouped, " said a statement of the defense ministry, quoted by APS news agency. The source said the army killed a militant a week ago during a operation in the woods of Sidi Ali Bounab in the provinces of Boumerdes and Tizi Ouzou. Some militants affiliated to al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb are still taking refuge in the woods in three adjacent provinces of Boumerdes, Tizi Ouzou and Bouira.
