12 Killed In New Algeria Bomb Attacks -- AFP

ALGIERS (AFP) - Two car bomb attacks in eastern Algeria killed at least 12 people, state radio and a Canadian employer reported Wednesday with the country still reeling from a suicide bomber who killed 43 people a day earlier.

At least 31 people were also wounded in the latest attacks in the town of Bouira, one on a passenger bus and another near a military headquarters, Algerian radio said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but an Al-Qaeda group has staged several attacks in Algeria over the past year and has been involved in clashes with government forces in the oil and gas-rich state.

One bomb targeted a bus parked near the Sophie hotel, in the city centre. The second bomb went off near the military headquarters in Bouira, which is 120 kilometres (70 miles) southeast of Algiers.
