ALGIERS, Oct 30 (Xinhua) -- Algeria on Tuesday strongly condemned the attack that targeted a police patrol in the Tunisian capital.

Algerian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abdelaziz Benali Cherif said in a statement that Algeria condemned the suicide bombing that targeted a Tunisian police patrol in downtown Tunis on Monday.

Cherif extended deepest condolences to the victims' families and wished a speedy recovery to the injured, affirming "full solidarity and constant support to the brotherly government and people of Tunisia in the face of this abhorrent scourge."
