Terrorists killed in Algeria by own bomb

2008-08-27

After several days of calm following the recent wave of terrorist attacks in Algeria, three terrorists died early Wednesday (August 27th) morning in Naciria, Boumerdes, when a roadside bomb they were attempting to plant exploded prematurely, Echorouk reported. Two other roadside bombs in Boumerdes exploded in Souk Lhad without causing any casualties.

In a separate incident, a bomb exploded at a water pumping station in Si Mustapha, near Boumerdès, early Tuesday morning (August 27th), injuring a utility worker, local and international press reported. A second bomb was discovered and successfully dismantled near the same water station.

Algerian security forces also dismantled two bombs in the same region: one in Dellys, 30 kilometres from Boumerdès, and another on the highway between Dellys and Tigzirt. A local security source reportedly suggested to Tout sur l'Algerie that the bombs were an attempt to avenge three terrorists killed by security forces in Taourga, near Dellys.

What stubbornness against Islam! More and more, you monkey's are losing your masks. So, from this I conclude that autonomy in terms of economic management and so on is only a pretext for you to attack Islam. Sir, you say that the depersonalisation of Kabylie came through Islamisation and, as a consequence, Arabisation. A penny for your thoughts: Did not speaking French and being Christian come about from depersonalisation? What are the ancestral values of the Kabyles? Christianity, Judaism? Or simply not having a religion? What about language? I defy you to show me a Kabyle who speaks Kabyle fluently, with no Arabic or French. The best illustration of spoken Kabyle is Berber TV, which broadcasts shows that are 100% in French. So, this does not bother you at all of course, because this is the language of your masters. -Posted by Iris Faou, 27 August 2009
