Police accused the "infiltrators" of being behind the violence in protests that are continuing in Algeria
Police and protesters clashed in Algeria as demonstrations against the ruling elite showed no sign of ending.
Police used water cannons and tear gas in the capital, Algiers, as protesters called for the removal of the new interim president, Abdelkader Bensalah.
Peaceful demonstrations took place every Friday in Algerian cities during the last two months.
Police arrested 108 "infiltrators" towards the end of the march after 27 policemen were wounded, officials said.
Former leader Abdelaziz Bouteflika resigned last week. He was replaced by Bensalah, who pledged to hold free elections on July 4, but many consider him too close to the former president.

Hundreds of thousands of people reportedly marched Friday in Algiers, many chanting "No to Bensalah" and using the slogan "They will all leave" on social media.
Mr. Bensalah will serve for a period of 90 days, as provided in the constitution. It is forbidden to participate in the next election, but the protesters still demand his resignation.
What do the protesters want?
The demonstrations began in February with anger directed against the ruling elite of the country, not just against Bouteflika.
Placards and online publications called for the end of "power".

Protesters wore placards protesting against the ruling elite on Friday, including one saying, "We will continue to win without you".
About 70% of the country's population is under 30 and the youth unemployment rate is high.
On Wednesday, the country's army chief, General Gaid Salah, made his first public speech since the appointment of Mr. Bensalah.
In a televised speech, he warned protesters against demands that could undermine the country's constitution.

He also said that the judiciary should investigate "the whole gang", a term used to refer to the restricted circle of the former president.
Mr Bouteflika was considered by many to be a front for a group of businessmen, politicians and military officials supposed to actually control the country.
The demonstrations have so far been largely peaceful, although security forces used tear gas and water cannons on Tuesday and Wednesday.
