The Algerian troops killed three militants Friday in the province of Bejaia, about 250 km east of Algiers, local media reported.
Citing local sources, TSA news website said the army troops have set up an ambush following tips about the presence of militants in the village of Aghoulad, in the locality of Adekar in southern Bejaia. This region is located in a forested area on borders with Tizi Ouzou province.
It is understood that the killed militants were about to conduct an attack targeting a military barrack in Adekar, the source added.
Late October, a terror group killed an army official and injured another in this same area.
