Algerian Defense Ministry on Friday announced the arrest of five Libyan armed militants on the borderline between the two nations.
The source specified that the militants were intercepted in In Amenas of Illizi province, not far from the border with Libya.
They were on board a vehicle carrying a Kalashnikov machine gun and two binoculars, the source said.
Earlier on Friday, the Algerian troops discovered a load of war weapons of different types in Debdeb of the same province.
