Yesterday, a leading media channel there reported that the Emirates ambassador in Algiers received a message that he must leave the country within 48 hours. According to the report, this happened after a cell of four Emirati citizens who were spying on Algerian soil and passed sensitive information to the "Israeli Mossad" was arrested.
 
The news spread on the networks like wildfire. It took the Algerian Foreign Ministry a few hours to respond and inform that it was a false information. 

This was not the end of the affair. 

A short time later, the president ordered the dismissal of the Minister of Communications, Muhammad Bouslimani. The news site that first published the news deleted it following the denial by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

The readers were left wondering whether the "false" refers to the expulsion of the ambassador or also to the arrest of the "Mossad cell"...
