Nine of the victims were local police officers who had just been relieved and were travelLing home late Sunday when the device exploded on the road. Following the explosion, a group of about 20 men presumed to be members of the Islamic terrorist group GSPC shot to death some of the survivors. Some newspapers reported that 10 people were killed in the attack, while others put the number of dead at up to 15. An estimated 12 people were injured in the attack. |
