Algerian car bombing kills 8
A car bombing killed at least eight people at military barracks southeast of the Algerian capital on Wednesday, according to local media.
The attack occurred some 50 miles southeast of Algiers, according to Algerian media reporting from the scene. No other details were immediately available.
In April, coordinated suicide bombings killed 33 people and injured more than 200 in the Algerian capital.
Al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa claimed responsibility for those attacks. The group, formerly called the GSPC, was built on the foundations of an Algerian insurgency movement that fought to topple the nation's secular government in the 1990s.
The insurgency broke out in 1992 after the army canceled elections that a fundamentalist Islamic party was set to win, and over the years as many as 200,000 people — including militants, security forces and civilians — were killed. Until recently, attacks had been waning
