| 20 killed in Algeria bus station blast |
| 2008-06-11 |
| A bomb exploded yesterday at a bus station in a town east of Algiers, killing 20 people, a security source said. The bomb went off in Bouira, some 120km from the capital. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. It was the fourth deadly bomb attack in six days in regions east of the capital of the oil and gas exporting North African country. On Sunday, 12 people including a French engineer were killed by a twin bomb attack at a railway station east of Algiers. Six soldiers were killed in the same province on Thursday when their convoy hit a bomb planted by rebels. A day earlier, bombs killed two people near a military barracks in Bordj El Kiffan, about 25km east of the capital. |
