Fifteen dead and scores injured in a suicide bombing in eastern Algeria: Algeria suicide attack aimed at president kills 15.
ALGIERS (AFP) - A suicide bomber killed 15 people and injured 74 in an assassination attempt in eastern Algeria against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, national television reported.
Bouteflkika appeared on television just after the bomb attack near a mosque in the city of Batna to denounce the attackers as “criminals” and vow to pursue his national reconciliation policy.The North African nation is still recovering from a civil war in the 1990s that left more than 150,000 dead.
The suicide bomber struck only five months after attacks claimed by Al-Qaeda’s offshoot in North Africa which killed at least 43 people and injured scores.
