Two Killed, Seven Injured in Algerian Pipeline Attack- Maddie Ash

   Two people were when a gas pipeline was blown up in Algeria. Seven others were wounded in this attack by militants. The Ain Chikh pipeline in the Djebahia region, some 75 miles east of the capital, Algiers, is a stronghold of al-Qaeda in the Maghreb. Algeria has been the target of many attacks related to gas recently. At least 37 foreign workers were killed when militants seized a gas plant in eastern Algeria earlier this month and an Algerian national and nearly 30 militants also died during a military operation to retake the In Amenas facility, where the foreigners were held being hostage along with hundreds of local workers.
   The extent of damage on the pipeline in the Djebahia region is not yet clear. Residents said that two guards were killed and five of their colleagues suffered gunshot wounds following an hour-long firefight. The army launched an immediate search of the area to find the assailants, but there have been no reports of any arrests.
