Tuesday's twin car bombing in Algiers was more than just another attack in a strife-torn nation. While previous attacks have tended to focus on government institutions, this one also targeted the United Nations—a signal that the world organization has become a new target of terror. The Algerian attack was the most deadly on a U.N. office since 2003, when insurgents killed 22 people in U.N. offices in Baghdad and forced the organization to temporarily leave the country. At least nine U.N. workers were among the 31 confirmed dead in this week's attack in the Algerian capital, which also affected the offices of the country's Constitutional Council. 　　

聯合國成恐怖行為新目標    

    星期二，兩輛相同的汽車在阿爾及爾發生爆炸，這已不僅是發生在這個滿目戰亂創傷的國家的又一次攻擊事件。如果說前幾次攻擊事件是針對政府機構的話，這一次依然以聯合國為目標，這是一個信號——這個世界組織已經變成了恐怖活動的一個新目標。這是自2003年以來，發生在阿爾及爾、針對聯合國辦公場所最致命的攻擊。當年叛亂分子殺死了22名在巴格達聯合國辦公場所工作的人，並迫使聯合國暫時離開了那個國家。本周發生在阿爾及利亞首都的攻擊事件中，31名被證實死亡的人中至少有9名是聯合國工作人員。這次攻擊行動也波及到了該國憲法委員會的辦公室。
