2010 Tidjelabine bombing

On April 7, 2010, an explosive device detonated against a patrol of the Gendarmerie Nationale in the town of Tidjelabine, located in Boumerdès Province, Algeria. The blast killed two people and injured five others. Reporting identified Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb as the suspected group.

The attack targeted a security patrol, indicating it was directed at Algerian state security forces operating in the region at the time. Boumerdès Province, where Tidjelabine is located, has historically been an area of activity for militant groups operating in northern Algeria.

No individuals have been named as charged, convicted, or otherwise legally implicated in connection with this attack.

This case remains part of a broader pattern of bombings and attacks attributed to militant groups in Algeria during this period, and it is listed among terrorist bombings in Algeria and terrorist incidents recorded in 2010.
