People investigate after two car bomb attacks took place

People investigate after two car bomb attacks took place in the town of Bouira, in eastern Algeria, on August 20, 2008, which according to state radio killed at least 11 people. At least 31 people were wounded in the attacks in 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. The attacks came only a day after a suicide bomber drove a car packed with explosives into the entrance of a police school killing 43 people and injuring 45 in Issers, also east of Algiers.
