REBELS ACTIVE IN ALGERIA
European Drivers Kidnapped (N.Z. Press Association Copyright) (Rec. 7 p.m.) ALGIERS, April 29. Insurgents yesterday stepped up a campaign of bomb and gun attacks in the Algerian towns and countryside which have cost 15 dead and 35 injured in a week. In the Oran region, the scene of the week’s main terrorist activities, a European motorist was killed by revolver shots from an assailant who fled. Between Oran and Side Bel Abbes, troops today scoured the wild countryside for three European lorry drivers, who were kidnapped yesterday as they drove along a lonely road. Last night, a powerful insurgent band besieged a military post at Cap Rosa, east of Bone, killing a French Marine. They withdrew when the post called up reinforcements. Insurgents also wrecked a medical dispensary in the Constantine Department. Reports reaching Algiers tonight said that French troops killed 25 insurgents in a battle in Eastern Algeria, near Clairfontaine. Another 21 insurgents died in fighting in the Grand Kabylie yesterday.
