Terrorism: Two killed in a suicide bombing east of Algiers

Two people were killed and several wounded in Algeria Wednesday when a suicide bomber drove a vehicle packed with explosives into a military convoy, local newspapers and websites reported.

• The attack took place near the settlement of Zemmouri, about 40 km (25 miles) east of the capital in a region that has traditionally been an insurgent stronghold.
•  
• Algerian security forces killed 10 terrorists in the same area last week.
•  
• The violence has been reduced dramatically in the past few years, but the terrorists still mount sporadic attacks.
