Protestant church burned in Algeria

None

Islamists looted and burned a Protestant church in Algeria, the congregation's leader said Monday, suggesting they were inspired by a recent wave of religious intolerance in the Arab and Muslim world.

 

The church, hosted in an apartment block in the city of Tizi Ouzou some 100 kilometers east of Algiers, the Algerian capital, was ransacked and set ablaze on Saturday night, several Algerian newspapers said. (AP)
