Attackers killed 21 members of the same Algerian family, including a three-month old baby, Algeria's official news agency said Friday.  

 

The assailants stabbed and shot to death the victims in rural Ouled Abdallah, about 200 kms west of Algiers in the Chlef region, the APS agency said. Five people were in critical condition in Sobha hospital after being shot in the head.  

 

It was the fourth large-scale killing this month in Algeria. In the most recent attack, Algerian militants killed at least seven people on Oct. 20 at a highway roadblock. (Albawaba.com)
