Violence seems to be increasing in Algeria again.
Over the weekend, an armed Muslim extremist was one of three people who died, while 5 others were injured in the latest shoot-out according to reports. Though early reports claimed the armed extremist was killed on Friday by government security forces in Ain Defla, west of Algeria, the Algerian government has not confirmed this claim. In a related development, an armed group killed a member of a local self-defense team and wounded another at Tablat, south of the capital Algiers on Saturday. Similarly, armed Muslim extremists had earlier assassinated a man on Friday in the Bouira region east of Algiers. In updating their database on leadership in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the French have begun to revise their forecasts to some degree.
