Algiers - Ten soldiers in eastern Algeria have been injured, three of them seriously, in a bomb attack attributed by local media Monday to Islamic militants.

The remotely detonated device exploded on Sunday as a military convoy was conducting a search in the region of Annaba, some 600km east of Algiers, according to the reports.

Last week, three soldiers and two armed civilians were killed in an ambush in the Biskra region, south of the capital. That attack was also attributed by media reports to an armed Islamist group, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat.

At least 50 people, 26 of them members of different security forces, have died in clashes since the beginning of November, according to a tally based on official and press reports.
