Algeria: Bomb attack kills at least 11 and injures others
(AKI) - At least 11 people are believed to have been killed and several others were injured in two explosions in Algeria on Wednesday. Two bombs reportedly exploded at a hotel and a military barracks in the town of Bouira, south-east of the Algerian capital, Algiers. The attacks came a day after a devastating suicide bomb attack killed 43 people and injured a further 38 at a police training college near Boumerdes, east of Algiers. Citing the state-owned press agency, APS, media reports said that 31 people were wounded in the blasts in the town of Bouira on Wednesday morning. The explosions could be heard several hundred metres away. No-one has taken responsibility for the attack but Algeria has been the target of a number of violent bomb explosions. Many recent terrorist attacks have been linked to the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb. Posted by: Fred 2008-08-21 |
