| Algerian suicide bombing leaves 29 injured |
| 2011-08-14 |
| A suicide bomber's attack on a police headquarters in the Algerian city of Tizi Ouzou wounded 29 people early on Sunday. The attacker attempted to drive a Toyota Hilux pick-up truck packed with explosives into the police headquarters at 4:30 a.m. local time. Algeria's El Watan newspaper reported on its Internet site that four Chinese citizens and a baby were among the injured. Tizi Ouzou lies about 60 miles east of the Algerian capital. It is the capital of the mountainous Kabylie region, where al Qaeda's north African group has a stronghold. A similar suicide attack in 2008 targeted the headquarters of the police intelligence unit in Tizi Ouzou. |
