 The town of Zemouri, in Boumerdés, was shaken yesterday morning by a car bomb blast causing great fear among the inhabitants. Al Khabar has been told that the terrorists were specifically targeting the owner of the car in which the bomb was hidden. It was in fact a handmade bomb planted under the car parked beside its owner’s house. The bomb has been triggered at 8:00 am by a mobile phone used as remote control. No casualties were recorded except the terror atmosphere it provoked in the area, especially as the blast occurred at a time some of the inhabitants were about to leave home, chiefly pupils who were on the way to school. |
