Military-post car bomb kills 10 soldiers

A suicide bomber blew up a refrigerated truck packed with explosives inside a military encampment south-east of the Algerian capital Algiers today, killing 10 soldiers and wounding up to 35, a security official said.

The truck drove into the post on the edge of Lakhdaria, some 50 miles from Algiers, as the doors opened in the morning for arriving personnel, said the security official.
