Arsonists blamed after wildfires kill dozens in Algeria

Algeria has observed the first of three days of national mourning for victims as wildfires continue to burn across the north of the country, fanned by strong winds and searing heat.

The blazes in the mountainous Kabylie region are some of the worst in the country's history.

Senior officials have repeatedly blamed arsonists for much of the devastation. More than 20 arrests have been made
