Algeria threats

The State Department warns of the risks of travel to Algeria. Terrorist attacks, including bombings, false roadblocks, kidnappings, ambushes and assassinations, occur regularly, particularly in the Kabylie region of the country.

The group that claimed credit for the Dec. 11, 2007, suicide car-bomb attacks in Algiers has pledged more attacks against foreign targets. Avoid overland travel and stay only in hotels where adequate security is provided.
