I think the last part "a spontaneous protest turned violent." should be "a spontaneous protest that (or which) turned violent. Am I correct?

But they said they had not ruled out the involvement of Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb � an affiliate of the international terrorist group with origins in Algeria � in an attack the administration initially described as a spontaneous protest turned violent.
