BATNA: Sixteen people have been killed and 114 injured after a bomb ripped through a crowd waiting for Algeria's president to arrive. The bomb exploded about 45 minutes before President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's scheduled arrival in Batna, a town about 279 miles east of the capital, Algiers.
Local police said a man in his thirties carried the explosive device in a bag into the middle of the crowd, which was waiting in front of Batna's Al-Atik mosque. Onlookers alerted the police. Many injured are in critical state.
