The 1995 Rijeka bombing was a suicide attack perpetrated by the Islamic terrorist organization al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya against Croatia on 20 October. At 11:21 AM CET, a car with a bomb drove into a local police station in Rijeka. After the car detonated near the stairwell, the driver was immediately killed and 29 civilians were injured. Croatian and U.S. intelligence agencies identified al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya as responsible and many of its senior leaders residing in the region were killed on 14 December.
