Terrorists attacked and killed three security guards on Wednesday morning at a construction site in Algeria's Jijel province. The Austrian foreign ministry believes that two Austrian nationals have been arrested or kidnapped in the area along the border between Algeria and Tunisia. Concerns over the use of mobile telephones in terrorist bombings have prompted the Algerian Post and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (ARPT) to call a halt to the proliferation of unidentified SIM cards.
