Interior Minister Kablia said Algeria is stepping up security measures along the Tunisian border after the murder of eight Tunisian soldiers by jihadists in the Jebel Chaambi area. The Foreign Ministry strongly condemned "appallingly false" allegations by "some circles" in the Tunisian media seeking to cast blame on Algeria for Tunisia's deteriorating security situtation and aimed at "misleading the Tunisian people in the moment when they mobilize to counter the terrorism."
