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.
