Bombs Rock Algerian Capital; Dozens Dead and Injured

Two car bombs went off in the heart of Algiers, the Algerian capital, killing at least 45 people. At least 10 of those killed were working for the United Nations as one of the blasts occurred outside the UN refugee agency:

Two car bomb attacks, one of which targeted offices of the U.N. refugee agency, killed at least 45 people, including 10 U.N. staff members, in the Algerian capital Tuesday, authorities said.

The civil protection agency said one attack killed 30 people and that a second blast left another 15 people dead.

Jean Fabre of the U.N. Development Program said it was still unknown who died or which U.N. agencies they represented. Fabre said he received the information from Marc Destanne De Bernis, the agency's top official in the Algerian capital.

From the sound of it, it may be an al Qaeda or al Qaeda inspired attack, since al Qaeda's favorite tactic is to use multiple bombs in mass casualty attacks and Islamists are busy trying to wage jihad against the West from Algeria.

UPDATE:
The death toll is now 62 and climbing.

UPDATE:
Gateway Pundit has video and photos of the carnage.
