| 2005-06-08 |
| Thirteen Algerian local government guards were killed in a bomb explosion in northern Algeria blamed on militants fighting for a purist Islamic state, a security source said on Wednesday. A homemade device planted on the road was detonated on Tuesday evening when a truck carrying the guards was on patrol in the M'Sila region, some 200 km (125 miles) southeast of the capital Algiers, a security source told Reuters. Six guards were also injured, said the source who declined to be named. The Interior Ministry was not immediately available for comment. |
