Algeria squad in military hotel amid tight security measures

The camp of the Algerian football squad is on their second day ahead of Sunday's 2010 Africa/World Cup qualifier against Zambia in Mustapha Tchaker stadium in Blida (35 km west of Algiers).

•  
• Algeria’s Rafik Heliche and Abdelkader Ghezzal were absent on the first day of the training as Heliche was playing for the Portuguese championship while Ghezzal preferred to wait for 24 hours due to the lack of direct air flights.
• The players are staying in a military hotel in the area of Bni Messous in Algiers. Security measures are stringent while organisers ordered to not allow any stranger to enter whatever his or her function.
• The coach and the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) decided to conduct the training at Bni Messous stadium next to the hotel.
• The organisers prepared a list of meals for the players in consultation with an English professor who recommended some special food.
• The FAF fitted the hotel with a place for prayer.
