Algiers, 1 Sept. (AKI) - One person has been killed and at least eight injured when gunmen burst into a mosque during prayers southwest of the Algerian capital of Algiers, local newspaper Ennahar reported.
A large number of people were gathered for Ramadan prayers late on Tuesday when the attackers opened fire on the crowd in the Algerian province of Ain Defla, the report said.
The sheikh guiding the prayers was killed in the incident while some of the wounded were taken to hospital serious condition.
A bloody civil war broke out in Algeria in the 1991 after the government cancelled results that awarded a national election victory to an Islamist party.
Government officials estimate that more than 100,000 Algerians died in terrorist attacks and fighting, according to GlobalSecurity.org, a website for military policy research.
Islam, the “religion” of violins.
The Target was acquired. The rest were just collateral.
Those Crazy Amish again... Oops, never mind!
Nothing says ‘Ramadan’ like mass murder! Mohamhead knows best!
...this muslim on muslim murder happens every day...yet 9-11 mosque supporters justify it by saying that muslims died in the World Trade Center.
HA!
I just love Red on Red attacks.
Don’t forget the sax.
