16 Killed by Three Bombs in Algeria
- Share via
ALGIERS — A bomb exploded Saturday at a cafe in suburban Algiers, killing six people.
About 30 people were injured in the attack in Kolea, for which no one claimed responsibility, government officials said. They had no other information.
Three days earlier, two bombs killed 10 people and injured dozens more in Blida, 31 miles south of Algiers. Government officials did not disclose those bombings until Saturday.
No one claimed responsibility, but officials said those two bombs could be linked to a split within the Armed Islamic Group, one of the most violent groups fighting the military-backed government.
