Thirteen people have been killed by Islamic extremists in Algeria's Ain Defla province, some 160 kilometers west of Algiers, security forces said on Wednesday.
They said the attack took place Tuesday evening in the town of Oeud Chorfa, a little more than one week before Algerians are set to vote in local and regional elections, according to AFP.
Meanwhile, in a separate attack in the town of Douar Djebailia, allegedly carried out by the same group, a child was injured and a woman kidnapped, the security forces said. A search has been launched to find the assailants, they said. (Albawaba.com)
