This action reported by Echorouk follows the suicide attack on the Gendarmerie base at Ouargla and the discovery some months ago of ground to air missiles buried near the gas fields at In Amenas. Algeria has always maintained the tightest security around its oil and gas fields which are located in the deserts of Southern Algeria.
Concerns about increased terrorist attacks follow the general disturbance and arms trafficking in the region following the fall of Gadaffi and the fall of Northern Mali to Al Qaeda linked forces who have taken over from the MNLA.
