An Algerian policeman in the Souk-Ahras area attacked 3 colleagues before killing himself. The event happened near the town hall. The policeman, 30, had suffered from recent physical problems and returned to work after an absence only a few months ago.  

 

Algeria has been faced with a degree of violence in outlying areas recently. Although this was an isolated incident, apparently involving a deranged policeman, it is still an embarrassment to the authorities that the policeman was readmitted into service. (albawaba.com)
