Algeria's state radio says the military has killed 16 militants in a weekend raid on their secret base near the capital, Algiers. French-language state radio says Interior Minister Yazid Zerhouni has raised the death toll among the militants from seven previously announced. Further details were not provided in the report Tuesday. Officials said the raid starting late Friday near Blida was launched with information obtained from a terror support cell dismantled a week earlier. Blida is about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Algiers.
