Al Qaeda Strikes Again In Algeria by Mamajama(m): 11:08pm On Dec 11, 2007 |
ALGIERS, Algeria (CNN) -- Rescuers are sifting through the rubble of the main United Nations headquarters in the Algerian capital looking for 14 U.N. staffers missing hours after a powerful bomb ripped off the building's facade and leveled nearby U.N. offices Tuesday. Rescuers and bomb experts search for survivors in the rubble of a destroyed building. 1 of 3 It was one of two suspected car bombs that struck Algiers within 10 minutes of each other. The death toll is unclear: the official government count is at least 26, but hospital sources in Algiers told CNN affiliate BFM-TV that 76 people were killed in the two blasts. A statement from the United Nations said 45 people were reported killed. Algerian Interior Minister Noureddine Yazid Zerhouni blamed a militant Islamic group with ties to al Qaeda for the attacks, which also targeted a building housing Algeria's Constitutional Council and Supreme Court. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/12/11/algeria.blast/index.html |
