Eight dead in Algeria car bombing
* Story Highlights
* Eight people killed as car bomb explodes in Algeria, reports say
* Eight others wounded in attack in country's north
* Previous attacks in north African country claimed by al Qaeda
ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) -- Explosives packed into a vehicle detonated outside a
police station in northern Algeria, killing eight civilians and wounding eight
others, the national radio said Sunday.
An officer fired on the vehicle as it was approaching the police station in
Zemmouri, on Saturday night, causing the car to explode before it hit the
building, the radio report said, citing security officials.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack, and the radio report
gave no further details.
Zemmouri is located in the Boumerdes region, about 50 kilometers (30 miles)
east of the capital, Algiers.
An August 3 bombing at a police station in another northern city, Tizi Ouzou,
injured more than 20 people. Police responded with a security sweep in which 12
Islamists were killed in the restive Kabylie region, east of Algiers, the
Interior Ministry said Saturday.
Algeria's al-Qaeda affiliate -- al-Qaeda in Islamic North Africa -- claimed
responsibility for that attack, and said it had been a suicide car bombing.
The group, formerly known as the GSPC, grew out of an insurgency in the 1990s.
The violence was prompted by the army's cancellation of 1992 legislative
elections that an Islamist party was poised to win.
The violence, which killed as many as 200,000, had been waning until the GSPC's
affiliated with al-Qaida in recent years.
Many recent attacks in Algeria have targeted the national security services and
military, while others have struck foreigners.
