Islamic State said on Tuesday that it was behind Sunday’s attack on an Algerian military barracks near the country’s border with Mali that killed one soldier via SABCNewsOnline

Islamic State sent the bomber in a vehicle rigged with explosives, he was stopped before he could enter the compound and the blast killed him and a soldier.

“The martyred brother Omar al-Ansari entered the base and exploded his car against them,” the group said in a statement. In Libya, chaos in parts of the country since the 2011 revolution has created space for Islamic State, which launched a cross-border attack against a Tunisian town in 2016, but which is now mostly active in Libya’s south.

Sunday’s attack was the first in Algeria for several years. In 2013, a militant group linked to Al Qaeda staged an attack on the Tiguentourine gas processing facility in southern Algeria that killed dozens of people, including foreigners.
