location: Tipaza
notes: Three Algerian auxiliary policemen were killed Sunday in what a security official called a 'militant' attack, a term authorities use to refer to armed Islamists, the APS news agency said. The three had just quit work in the Tipaza region some 70 kilometres (45 miles) west of the capital Algiers and were going home when the attack occurred, the unnamed official told APS, declining to give further details.
