Deadly blasts in Algerian capital At least 45 people have died in two bomb blasts in the Algerian capital, Algiers, officials have said. The first explosion is reported to have happened in the central El Biar area, near the constitutional court.
That was followed shortly afterwards by a second blast at the United Nations offices in the Hydra neighbourhood. A UN worker caught up in the Hydra attack told the BBC that part of the building was destroyed and it was feared people were trapped. Dozens were wounded in the blasts, officials say. College bus hit The UN confirmed that its offices had been hit, saying that some of its staff had been injured. In the other attack, near the constitutional court, a group of students travelling on a college bus were among the casualties, local media reports. Algerian Interior Minister Yazid Zerhouni said the explosions had been caused by two car bombs. "The death toll is very high," Mr Zerhouni said without giving a precise figure. There has been no immediate claim of responsibility. Throughout 2007 there have been a series of bomb attacks across Algeria in which scores of people have died. In September more than 50 people were killed in suicide attacks - one of them involved a truck packed with explosives being driven into a coast guard base. Al-Qaeda link? Members of the public have recently held rallies in protest at the upsurge in violence.
