Twin suicide attacks rocked Algeria Monday during Pope's visit

Twin attacks rocked a city outside the Algerian capital Monday as Pope Leo XIV started a historic visit to the North African country, a source with knowledge of the case said, confirming video images verified by AFP.

"There were two security incidents yesterday afternoon in Blida, incidents of a terrorist nature. Two suicide bombers blew themselves up and were killed," the source told AFP on Tuesday, referring to the city some 45 kilometers (28 miles) southwest of Algiers.

Video images verified by AFP showed two bodies in the street in Blida, Algeria.
