Algeria launches terror probe after self-immolation protest

Algerian prosecutors said Tuesday they are investigating a June 1 self-immolation outside Algiers' justice ministry as a potential terror-linked plot. Faouzi Zegout, who protested a court case in the incident, claimed judicial persecution in a viral video. Authorities detained five suspects, alleging an "organized criminal group" with foreign ties planned the act, including filming it to "disturb public order." One suspect was released under supervision.
