Algerian Support for War in Iraq Yields Bitter Fruit

43 dead in a suicide bombing by Al Qaeda.

Earlier this month, a blast near a police station in northern Algeria wounded 21 people. And a suicide bomber on a motorcycle targeted a military convoy in late July, injuring 13 soldiers.

In both instances, the militant group Al Qaeda Islamic Maghreb claimed responsibility.

The same group also is accused of orchestrating a double car bomb attack in Algiers in December that struck a United Nations headquarters and Algeria's Constitutional Council building. The attack killed dozens of people, including 17 U.N. staffers.

What? Algeria wasn't involved in the war in Iraq? Well, surely large contingents of U.N. soldiers raped the innocent in Iraq! No?

AQIM seeks to destabilize countries such as Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, which it sees as enemies of the Islamic state, authorities say.

Then it must be the Moroccan and Tunisian soldiers who were especially brutal in Iraq and Afghanistan! No? You mean to tell me that this bombing didn't have anything to do with Goebush McHitlerBurton's war for oil?

Strange.
