FT942-13382 _AN-EDZEDAHLFT 940425 FT 25 APR 94 / Four Algerian rebels killed in police sweep By REUTER TUNIS Algerian security forces said yesterday they had killed four Islamic militants during a two-day sweep of Moslem fundamentalist strongholds, according to the official Algerian APS news agency, Reuter reports from Tunis. APS said soldiers also arrested 61 people suspected of belonging to or supporting armed Islamic groups. Algerian Radio said a large cement factory, which was badly damaged by two bombs on Friday, would be out of commission for three months. It said 10 Islamic militants were involved in the attack on the plant at Meftah, 12 miles south-east of Algiers. The army-backed Algerian authorities have blamed Islamic militants, battling to set up an Islamic state in the North African country, for various acts of sabotage of economic installations since 1992. The latest deaths bring to around 500 the number of Islamists reported killed in Algeria since March. Countries:- DZZ Algeria, Africa. Industries:- P9229 Public Order and Safety, NEC.
