13 killed in Algeria train station bombings

Two successive bombs rocked a train station in Algeria today, killing 13 people, mostly firefighters and soldiers responding to the first bomb, a security official said.

The first bomb killed a French engineer at work on a renovation project at the station in Beni Amrane, just over 60 miles east of the capital, the security official said. The Frenchman’s Algerian driver was also killed.
