officials said.

Two corpses were found yesterday following heavy rains in Setif
province, some 300km east of the capital Algiers, they said today.

spate when they were walking home from school on Sunday in Batna region,
about 430km east of Algiers.

Three other people died as floods swept away their cars in the same
