    Rafik Tayeb :


    Mercredi 4 Juin 2008 -- Deux attentats à la bombe ont été perpétrés, mercredi aux environs de 16h30, dans le quartier résidentiel du Tamaris, situé au Lido, dans la commune de Bordj-El-Kifane, une commune de la banlieue- est d’Alger. Selon un journaliste de toutsurlalgerie.com sur place, la première attaque, une bombe artisanale, a ciblé un café populaire situé en face d’une caserne de la Garde républicaine. L’explosion a fait au moins un mort et plusieurs blessés, selon un bilan provisoire confirmé par des sources sécuritaires. Le café est connu pour être un lieu très fréquenté par la population du quartier et les militaires.

    La deuxième attaque, plus violente, a été l’œuvre d’un kamikaze. Ce dernier, à bord d’un véhicule bourré d’explosifs, a tenté de profiter de la panique provoquée par l’explosion de la première bombe pour cibler la caserne de la Garde républicaine située en face du café. Mais le terroriste n’a pas réussi à pénétrer à l’intérieur de la caserne. Son véhicule a été stoppé par des tirs de militaires présents sur place, avant d’exploser. Le corps du kamikaze a été déchiqueté par l’explosion qui a fait également de nombreux blessés.

    Immédiatement après ces explosions, les forces de sécurité ont bouclé le quartier et mis hors service les réseaux de téléphonie mobile, sans doute pour empêcher les terroristes de commettre de nouveaux attentats. D'importantes forces de police ont été déployées dans le quartier où ont afflué aussi de nombreuses ambulances.

    Plus deux heures après les deux explosions, aucun groupe terroriste n’a revendiqué l’attaque. Mais tous les soupçons se tournent vers le GSPC, devenu Al-Qaïda pour le Maghreb islamique (AQMI). Ce groupe a en effet revendiqué la responsabilité de plusieurs attentats en Algérie, dont un double attentat visant notamment les bureaux de l'Onu qui a fait 41 morts en décembre dernier dans la capitale.

    ALGIERS, June 4, 2008 (AFP) — A suicide bomber blew himself up near a police barracks on the outskirts of the Algerian capital Wednesday, wounding several people, an AFP reporter and security officials said.

    The bomber's body was torn up by the blast and rescuers retrieved body parts from a tree.

    The man had failed to reach the doors of the barracks of the republican guard in the eastern Algiers suburb of Bordj El Kiffan in the afternoon, security officials said earlier, adding that another bomb exploded in front of a shop in the same area injuring at least one person.

    ALGIERS, June 4, 2008: A suicide attack on a military barracks and a second bombing at a cafe shook a beach neighborhood outside the Algerian capital on Wednesday, wounding six people, a security official said.

    The two bombs came five minutes apart in the Lido neighborhood of Bordj El Kiffan, a coastal area on the edge of Algiers that is home to colonial-era villas, ice cream shops and restaurants. One bomber blew himself up outside a military barracks, while a second left an explosive device outside a cafe, the security official said.

    There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Algeria's al-Qaida affiliate has waged frequent, deadly attacks recently. The new bombings came as Algiers prepares to play host to an international trade fair and a meeting of foreign ministers from 11 European, North African and Middle Eastern countries.

    In the first attack, a bomber was fired on by security officials as he advanced toward a military barracks before blowing himself up, the security official said. That attack injured five.

    Minutes later, an accomplice placed a handmade bomb near a cafe, then fled. The second bomb injured one person, the official said. Police were still looking for the attacker. Witnesses said the neighborhood was blocked off to traffic as the wounded were brought to hospitals.

    On Saturday, an international trade fair is due to begin about a kilometer (half a mile) away from where the bombs hit.

    In another high-profile event, top international diplomats are expected in Algiers on Thursday and Friday to discuss the idea of a Mediterranean Union to bridge Europe and North Africa. Foreign ministers from France, Algeria, Egypt, Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Malta, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey are expected to attend.

    Algeria's Islamic militants have mounted increasing attacks over the past two years. A double suicide bombing in December in Algiers killed 41 people, including 17 U.N. workers. In April 2007, coordinated suicide strikes against the main government offices in central Algiers and a police station killed 33.

    Most of the attacks have been claimed by al-Qaida in Islamic North Africa, formerly known as the GSPC. The group grew out of an insurgency that raged in the country in the 1990s. The violence, which has left as many as 200,000 dead, was prompted by the army's cancellation of legislative elections in 1992 that an Islamist party was poised to win.

    like last years bombings weren't enough!
    when will this ever STOP!
    In the Qur'an, Allah says:

    "When My servants ask about Me, I am indeed close to them. I listen to the prayer of every supplicant, when he calls on Me.
    Let them also, with a will, listen to My call, and believe in Me, so that they may walk in the right way" (Qur'an 2:186).
