Al-Qaeda group claims Algeria blast
Wednesday's attack targeted
a police station [Reuters]
A North African group aligned to the al-Qaeda has
claimed responsibility for a suicide attack that
killed four policemen in Algeria.
Another 20 people were injured when a car rammed into
a police station in the town of Naciria about 120km
east of the capital Algiers on Wednesday.
"This morning at 7am one of the lions of the al-Qaeda
Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb, martyrdom-seeker
Abdullah ... drove [his car] into the judicial police
quarters," a recorded statement aired on the Al
Arabiya TV said.
In the statement a man identified himself as Salah
Abou Mohammad, a spokesman for the group.
The blast left a crater three metres wide, wrecked the
outside of the building and damaged nearby homes,
shops and a cafe.
The attack was the first since two bombs exploded on
December 11 in Algiers, killing at least 37 people.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb claimed responsibility
for those attacks.
String of attacks
The same group had claimed responsibility for several
other bombings.
In September 2007, a car bomb killed 37 people at a
coastguard barracks in Dellys, 100km east of Algiers.

The attack happened two days after a suicide bomb
blast targeting a convoy carrying Abdulaziz
Bouteflika, Algeria's president, killed 22 people.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb was formed from the
Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) in
January 2007, with leader Abu Musab Abdel Wadoud
promising to wage a violent campaign.
The GSPC was formed in 1998 by former members of
Algeria's Armed Islamic Group which began attacking
the government in 1992 after it cancelled elections an
Islamic party looked set to win.
More than 150,000 people died in the ensuing
decade-long civil war.
