An ambush on the Algerian paramilitary took place on June 17, 2009, at 8:00 pm (19:00 GMT), when Algerian paramilitary escorting Chinese construction workers to a motorway project came under attack from Islamist rebels. Early reports suggested 18 soldiers were killed; some news outlets are reporting that 24 soldiers were killed.[2][3]

Attacks such as these had been thought to be decreasing prior to the incident, but suddenly began to increase again.[4] The attack was the deadliest aimed at Algeria's government forces for six months.[5]
