Police are widening the scope of the Chardassa suicide bombing that targeted the interior minister after indications of al Qaeda’s involvement have surfaced. The suspect is now believed to be a man aged 18-20. The Interior Ministry is the “only civilian body fully trusted by Western intelligence” [see our update on April 28].
