Batna, Algeria
Batna ( ar, باتنة, Latn, ar, Bātnah) is the main city and commune of Batna Province, Algeria. With a population of 290,645 (2008 census) it is the fifth largest city in Algeria. It is also one of the principal cities of the Chaoui area and is considered the capital of Aurès.

Terrorist Bombings In Algeria
Many bombings were committed during the Algerian Civil War that began in 1991. The Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) claimed responsibility for many of them, while for others no group has claimed responsibility. These terrorist incidents generated a widespread sense of fear in Algeria. 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. This list is not exhaustive and sources frequently disagree on the number of deaths. 1985 * 1985 Soumâa bombing (26 August 1985) 2000 * 2000 Mascara bombing (16 June 2000) * 2000 Tizi Ouzou bombing (28 September 2000) 2002 * 2002 Tazmalt bombing (15 May 2002) * 2002 Miliana bombing (20 June 2002) * 2002 Hammam Righa bombing (21 June 2002) * 2002 Larbâa bombing (5 July 2002) * 2002 M'Sila bombing (21 November 2002) 2003 * 2003 Tizi Ouzou bombing (15 June 2003) 2004 * ...

The terms "terrorist" and "terrorism" originated during the French Revolution of the late 18th century but became widely used internationally and gained worldwide attention in the 1970s during The Troubles, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the Basque conflict, and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
