Six soldiers killed in Algeria bomb attack: security sources
ALGIERS (AFP) — A bomb attack blamed on Islamist militants killed six Algerian soldiers and four wounded in Cap Djinet, east of Algiers, on Thursday, security sources said Friday.
The soldiers were returning to barracks after a fishing expedition in the seaside town, about 80 kilometres (50 miles) from Algiers, when their vehicle struck a bomb buried in the road, the sources said.
Two simultaneous bombs occurred Thursday in Bordj El Kiffan, an eastern suburb of Algiers, killing a suicide bomber and injuring six others. The blasts targeted a barracks and a seaside cafe.
