Terrorist bombings in Algeria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Many bombings were committed during the Algerian Civil War that began in 1991.[1][2] The Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) claimed responsibility for many of them, while for others no group has claimed responsibility.[3][4] These terrorist incidents generated a widespread sense of fear in Algeria.[5] The number of bombings peaked in 2007, with a smaller peak in 2002, and they were particularly concentrated in the areas between Algiers and Tizi Ouzou, with very few occurring in the east or in the Sahara.[6]
