Deadly bomb rocks Algerian base

At least 28 people have been killed and some 60 injured
in a car bomb attack on an Algerian naval barracks in
Dellys, 100km (62 miles) east of Algiers.

It comes just two days after a suicide bomb attack left
at least 20 people dead, including the bomber, in Batna.

That bomb exploded in a crowd awaiting a visit to the
town by President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.

He later blamed Islamic militants for the attack, but
there has been no claim of responsibility for either
attack.

they are the softest targets to hit.
Do they still get the 72 virgins in paradise for targeting muslims?

4. Does the difference between Shi'a and Sunni factor in?

they don't seem to have any problem targeting each other in Iraq... :shrug: Maybe sometimes politics trumps religion...? :shrug:
