The Algerian army on Saturday killed two terrorists in the northern province of Boumerdes, 55 km east of the capital Algiers, the defense ministry said.
"As part of the fight against terrorism and following a search operation near the locality of Dellys ... an army unit killed two dangerous terrorists, and retrieved a Kalashnikov-type machine gun, two magazines and a grenade," said a ministry statement.
The security situation in Algeria has remarkably improved in the last decade, but clashes between security forces and terrorist groups are still reported from time to time.
