Algeria says troops kill three 'terrorists'

Algerian military forces have killed what the defense ministry described as three "dangerous terrorists" during a raid in the country's north, according to reporting by AFP.  The ministry named the three slain men as Debar Boumediene, Hamneche Ibrahim and Alali Mohamed, without elaborating on their group affiliation.
According to the statement, two Kalashnikov-type submachine guns,
ammunition, and "other objects" were seized during the military operation.
Since the beginning of the year, the Algerian defense ministry has reported
the killing of at least 35 "terrorists" and the arrests of 256 suspects
"supporting Islamist armed groups".
