- Story Text: Algeria's national police chief was shot dead on Thursday (February 25) by a police official who was acting in a moment of insanity, official media quoted an Interior Ministry statement as saying.
"The death of Ali Tounsi, Director-General of the National Police, took place during a working session, in the course of which a police official, apparently gripped by an attack of madness, used his weapon and fatally wounded Colonel Tounsi," the APS news agency quoted the statement as saying. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
