Algerian media group says chief kidnapped by security forces

A media company in Algeria says its owner was kidnapped by security forces and tied it to his blaming the president's brother for alleged corruption.

The television channel of the Echourouk Group reported that chief executive was abducted Thursday as he left home for work.

Fodhil alleged this week on TV that Algeria was run by "extraconstitutional forces" and that President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's younger brother, said Bouteflika, was "head of the gang."
