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 * ...

Bombing
A bomb is an explosive weapon that uses the exothermic reaction of an explosive material to provide an extremely sudden and violent release of energy. Detonations inflict damage principally through ground- and atmosphere-transmitted mechanical stress, the impact and penetration of pressure-driven projectiles, pressure damage, and explosion-generated effects. Bombs have been utilized since the 11th century starting in East Asia. The term bomb is not usually applied to explosive devices used for civilian purposes such as construction or mining, although the people using the devices may sometimes refer to them as a "bomb". The military use of the term "bomb", or more specifically aerial bomb action, typically refers to airdropped, unpowered explosive weapons most commonly used by air forces and naval aviation. Other military explosive weapons not classified as "bombs" include shells, depth charges (used in water), or land mines. In unconventional warfare, other names can refer t ...
