AQIM takes credit for Tizi-Ouzou suicide bombing
[Maghrebia] Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has took credit for a suicide kaboom on Sunday in a village near Tizi-Ouzou, AFP reported on Thursday (July 29th). The attack killed a municipal guard and wounded at least eight coppers. AFP quoted the SITE monitoring group as claiming that an AQIM online statement said the attacker rammed a barracks in Ait Aissi with a truckload of explosives. Algerian security forces claim to have identified the attack's mastermind, an alleged AQIM emir named Sidi Mohand Ouramdane, aka El Khechkhache.
