The Algerian People’s National Army (ANP) has successfully dismantled a terrorist cell in Tamanrasset, Southern Algeria, according to a recent report. The operation, conducted by detachments of the ANP under the military sector of Tamanrasset in the Sixth Military Region, resulted in the apprehension of seven individuals and the recovery of significant weaponry.
The operation yielded two Kalashnikov-type submachine guns, a quantity of ammunition, and other related items. This successful intervention highlights the ongoing efforts of the Algerian military to combat terrorism and maintain security within its borders, particularly in the southern regions.
In a separate but related development, the ANP’s weekly report also revealed the surrender of a terrorist identified as Hamou Saleh Ahmed, also known as “Hamaidi,” to military authorities in Bordj Badji Mokhtar, which also falls under the Sixth Military Region. Hamaidi surrendered with a Kalashnikov submachine gun, a quantity of ammunition, and various other belongings. His surrender represents a significant blow to terrorist groups operating in the area and underscores the effectiveness of the ANP’s counter-terrorism strategies.
Furthermore, other detachments of the ANP apprehended seven individuals suspected of providing support to terrorist groups during various operations across the country. These arrests demonstrate the military’s commitment to dismantling not only active terrorist cells but also the support networks that enable their operations. The coordinated efforts across different regions highlight a comprehensive approach to counter-terrorism.
The Algerian government has consistently prioritized the fight against terrorism as a key element of its national security policy. The ANP plays a crucial role in this effort, conducting regular operations to identify, disrupt, and dismantle terrorist groups. These recent successes in Tamanrasset and Bordj Badji Mokhtar, along with the apprehension of support elements, demonstrate the continued vigilance and effectiveness of the Algerian military in safeguarding the country from terrorist threats. The ongoing operations reflect Algeria’s commitment to regional stability and its dedication to combating extremism in all its forms. The army’s commitment to national security remains steadfast, ensuring the safety and security of Algerian citizens.
