location: Bordj Emir Khaled
notes: Three people, two of whom were soldiers, had their throats cut early Monday morning in a fake road block in Ain Defla. The two soldiers were headed back to their barrack late on Sunday night aboard a taxi when they stopped at what they initially thought was a security checkpoint. They were, however, surprised by an armed group that set the vehicle on fire. The attack also claimed the life of a civilian. The incident occurred between Bir Ould Khelifa and Tariq Ibn Zyad.
