Another attack, following Thursday's assassination attempt on Algeria's president. By Hassane Meftahi for the Associated Press:
ALGIERS, Algeria - A booby-trapped car exploded at a barracks housing coast guard officials on Saturday, killing at least 28 people in Algeria's second terror attack this week, hospital officials said.
The explosion ripped through the northern coastal town of Dellys, about 30 miles from Algiers, as the local coast guard was taking part in the morning flag-raising ceremony.
All the victims were coast guard officials, who are part of Algeria's armed forces, hospital officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to media. Dozens more were injured.

From Wikipedia:
A coast guard is a national organization responsible for various services at sea. However the term implies widely different responsibilities in different countries.
Among the responsibilities that may be entrusted to a coast guard service are enforcement of maritime law, maintenance of seamarks, border control, and other services. During wartime coast guards might be responsible for harbour defense, port security, naval counterintelligence and coastal patrols.
In some countries it is part of the military. In a few countries it is a civilian or even private sector organization. Most coast guards operate ships and aircraft including helicopters and seaplanes for this purpose.
In some countries (such as Ireland) the coast guard has no law enforcement role. It is the co-ordinating agency for maritime rescue - the maritime rescue assets may come from other organisations. In these cases, lifeboats may be provided by civilian voluntary organisations, such as the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, whilst aircraft may be provided by the countries' armed forces, in addition to coastguard owned assets. In the United States, the U.S. Coast Guard has both law enforcement and military roles.

What on God's beautiful, blue planet would the the IsLameists have against these people?
Kill for the sake of killing, without applying even one ten-millionth of an ounce of brain power to rationalize what these sailors do for a sovereign nation.
Pure, complete, brain-washed zombies to the Cult of Islam.

Poor guys.
Trying to defend their country, and killed by a malignancy from within.
Islam is much like a vacuum cleaner- it sucks.
