COMMENTS: Southern Mediterranean
The major foreign news occurred in Algeria, where a pair of truckbombs were triggered by suicidal attackers in the government center of Algiers: one blast tore the façade off the nation's Supreme Court building; the other hit United Nations offices killing at least ten staffers. NBC's Ned Colt and ABC's Jim Sciutto both narrated the footage from London. The north African branch of al-Qaeda posted posthumous tributes to its two bombers. NBC's Colt noted that the group is active across Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria and ABC's Sciutto added that it was been strengthened by returning veterans of the fighting in Iraq.
