Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb fighters killed 21 policemen in a complex ambush in the town of Bordj Bou Arreridj. The policemen were escorting Chinese engineers when the convoy was hit with an roadside bomb attack and then targeted with gunfire. The terrorists stole the policemen’s weapons and uniforms after the ambush.
