Khemis Miliana - Islamic extremists massacred 14 members of the same family overnight after attacking their home in north-western Algeria as they slept, relatives said yesterday.
The assailants raided the house of an agricultural worker in the isolated hamlet of Ouled Amrane, near Khemis Miliana, some 120 km west of the capital, Algiers.
They killed six women, four children and four men, setting about them with axes and knives as well as using guns, before setting fire to the house and then fleeing into the mountains.
