Algiera bomb kills three
Algiers - Three people were killed in car-bomb explosions in Algiers and two were shot dead in attacks by suspected Muslim radicals. Three car- bombs went off outside the Justice Ministry, and a university and a student dormitory complex, injuring three people. The deaths were caused when another bomb exploded, apparently prematurely, inside a car on a main road, killing the occupants.
Among the two people shot dead was a South Korean businessman, Kang Dae Hyun, the 63rd foreigner killed since anti-government Muslim radicals began a campaign against foreigners 13 months ago. AP
