ALGIERS, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- A total of eight militants were killed Saturday morning by the Algerian army in Timzrit of Boumerdes province, some 50 km east of the capital Algiers, official APS news agency reported.

Citing a security source, APS said the militants, who are yet to be identified, were killed during a search operation conducted by the National Army forces.

A load of Kalashnikovs and ammunition were confiscated in this operation, which is still going on, the source added.

Although security has improved in the North African nation compared with that of the 1990s, some eastern regions, including the provinces of Tizi Ouzou and Boumerdes, still witness clashes between security forces and terror groups.
