The statement by the ministry revealed that amongst the injured were three foreigners from France and Italy in addition to members of national security as well as the driver. Explosives were planted on a mountainous road between Akdariya area and Ma'ala town, indicated the source, adding that authorities were searching for people behind the incident while medics were transferring the injured to a nearby hospital. The source assured that the lives of the injured people were not in danger. Yesterday, a grenade attack targeted an office for an Indian company in Blida province south of Algiers, causing the death of one policeman and the injury of another. Al-Qaeda network in west of the Islamic world vowed to target foreign businesses in the country beginning with an assault on an U.S. company back in September 2006 which resulted in the death of a Lebanese and an Algerian workers. Another attack also targeted Russian interests here in Medea province, resulting the death of three Russian workers. |
