Algeria's counter-terror units killed 4 militants and captured one another alive in the province of Medea, 150 south west Algiers, Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
"Army troops on Wednesday night killed four terrorists in an ambush set at the locality of Baata, in the upper woods of Medea," the source said, adding "Kalashnikov-type submachine guns and a quantity of ammunition were retrieved, while a bunker and a homemade bomb were destroyed."
Later on Thursday, the troops arrested another terrorist alive in same locality, as the operation is still underway, the source said. A Kalashnikov-type submachine gun, a pair of night binoculars, five magazines, ammunition and seven mobile phones were retrieved, the source concluded.
The region of Medea is known by its dense forests providing safe refuge to terrorist groups since the early nineties. However, the continuous anti-terrorism operations being conducted by the Algerian army troops have enabled to eradicate many militants.
