A bomb attack blamed on Islamist terrorists killed six Algerian soldiers and wounded four in Cap Djinet, east of Algiers. The soldiers were returning to barracks on Thursday after a fishing expedition in the seaside town, about 80 kilometres (50 miles) from Algiers, when their vehicle struck a bomb buried in the road. The attack follows Wednesday's twin bomb blasts east of Algiers that killed at least two people and injured five policemen.
