Four blind women among Algeria farm killings near Algiers
Four blind women were among six people killed by attackers who slit throats on a farm in Haoudi Mena, 20 miles south of Algiers.

The conflict has claimed about 75,000 lives as militants target civilians and government sites in a bid to topple the military-led regime and impose Muslim law.
