Algeria: The GSPC Fingerprints on the Oct. 30 Bombings

Near-simultaneous truck bomb attacks against two Algerian police stations took place Oct. 30. This appears to be the work of Algeria's main jihadist organization, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), which is likely trying to reverse Islamist militants' declining fortunes in the country. The GSPC is unlikely to be able to rejuvenate the Islamist insurgency in Algeria, but the group could participate in attacks on both sides of the Mediterranean in the future.
