More bombings rock Algeria
More car bombings killed 11 people in Algeria today, a day after the country suffered its deadliest terror attack in which 43 people died.
Twin attacks today rocked a hotel and military headquarters in the town of Bouira.
The first bomb targeted Bouira’s regional military command and injured four soldiers.
A minute later, 11 people died and 27 were wounded when a second bomb went off next to the hotel.
Most victims from the second bomb had been travelling in a bus that passed in front of the hotel.
Local hospital officials said they were workers from a construction company building a dam nearby at Koudiet-Acerdoun.
Bouira was cordoned off by police and several additional roadblocks were set up in the surrounding region.
Yesterday, a suicide bomber rammed a car into a line of applicants at a police academy in the town of Les Issers, 30 miles from Bouira killing at least 43 people and injuring 45.
No group has claimed responsibility for either attack but al-Qaida has been behind a series of bombings over the past two years in Algeria.
Violence has dramatically increased since 2006, when the GSPC, Algeria’s last big extremist group left over from a crushed insurgency in the 1990s renamed itself al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa and joined Osama bin Laden’s network.
