DELLYS, Algeria, Sept. 9 At least 30 people were killed and 60 were injured Saturday in a car bombing at an Algerian naval barrack.
The attack in the northeastern port town Dellys came just two days after a failed assassination attempt against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika by a suicide bomber. That attack killed 22 people, Al-Alam satellite TV reported.
Most of the people killed in the Dellys attack were coast guard members, Al-Alam said.
The Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, which is associated with al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Bouteflika has vowed to continue his policy of reconciliation designed to end the violence that has rocked the country since 1992, when the army stepped in to prevent a radical Islamist party from winning elections that would have given it control of the central government.
