Two car bombs in Algeria killed at least 11 people today, only a day after an attack that left 43 dead at a military academy, Algerian press agency APS said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombings today at Bouira, 150 kilmetres east of Algiers. But they follow a spate of attacks by al-Qaeda's north African wing in Algeria, a key oil and gas supplier to Europe.
State radio said the bombings targeted the local military commander inside an army barracks and Canadians working for a water project. The news agency said 31 people, including four military personnel, were wounded. All the dead were civilians.
The first bomb hit the barracks at 6am. The second went off near a hotel 15 minutes later, exploding just as a bus passed by carrying workers to a dam construction site, APS said. Most of those who died were travelling on the bus.
APS did not specify the nationality of the dead and the radio did not make clear whether Canadians were among the victims.
