 ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) - A suicide bomber blew up a refrigerated truck loaded with explosives at a military encampment outside Algeria's capital Wednesday, killing 10 soldiers and wounding 35, a security official said.
Al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa claimed responsibility for the attack, which came as the Africa Games opened, the Al-Jazeera TV network reported.
The truck drove into the post on the edge of Lakhdaria, a town 50 miles southeast of Algiers in the restive region of Kabylie, as doors opened in the morning for arriving personnel, the security official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the bombing.
